We will look to focus a lot more on our skills: Rohit Sharma

India are scheduled to take on Australia, Bangladesh and Afghanistan as part of their Group 1 fixtures in the super eights phase of the 2024 ICC T-20 World Cup. Indian remain unbeaten in the tournament thus far. “We will look to focus a lot more on our skills and what we need to do as a team rather than all of this. Every session then becomes really important and to make the best use of it. We have seen a lot of games here, played a lot of games here so everyone understands what one needs to do to get the result in our favour. Everyone's looking forward and quite excited at the same time,” Indian captain Rohit Sharma remarked in an interaction with the media ahead of India’s fixtures.

India’s first encounter in the Super Eights stage would be against Afghanistan on March 20th at the Kensington Oval in Barbados. India had an extended break of 8 days owing to the game against Canada getting cancelled. Rohit Sharma however affirmed that scheduling will not bear a great impact on the outlook of the team. “There is real keenness in the group to go and do something special. So that's a good way to start our second stage in the tournament. Clearly shows that everybody wants to make a difference, and obviously, we take our skill sessions quite seriously. There is something to achieve in every session. Once we play our first game, we are playing the next 2 games in a span of 3-4 days. It's going to be a little hectic, but again, we are used to all of this. We travel a lot, we play a lot. So that's never going to be an excuse,” Rohit stated.
