T20 WORLD CUP: SCHEDULE | POINTS TABLE
India advanced to the Super Eights stage of the T20 World Cup undefeated, with victories against Ireland, Pakistan and the United States.
Team India’s last group match, against Canada, was a abandoned without a ball being bowled due to a wet outfield at Broward County Stadium in Lauderhill, Florida on Saturday.
The Indian cricket board (BCCI) on Tuesday shared a link of a video where Rohit is talking about his team’s preparations ahead of the Super Eights.
“There is real keenness in the group to go and do something special. You know that’s a good way to start our second stage of the tournament. Clearly shows that everybody wants to make a difference and obviously we take our skills sets quite seriously. There is something to achieve in every skill set that you do,” Rohit says.
India will face Afghanistan (June 20), Bangladesh (June 22) and Australia (June 24) in Barbados, Antigua and St Lucia respectively in the Super Eights.
“Once we play our first game, we are playing the next two games in a span of 3 or 4 days. It’s going to be a little hectic and again we all are used to all of this. We travel a lot, we play a lot, so that’s never going to be an excuse. We will look to focus a lot more on our skills and what we need to as a team rather than all of this. Every session then really becomes very important and to make the best use of it,” Rohit added.
The Indian team hit the nets in Barbados on Monday to prepare for their game against Afghanistan.
On playing in Barbados, Rohit said, ‘We have seen a lot of games here, we have played a lot of games here so everyone understands what one needs to do to get the result in our favour. Everyone is looking forward and quite excited as well at the same time.”
