India’s Test captain, Rohit Sharma, has emphasized that his team remains unfazed by the fact that every team relishes the opportunity to defeat India. Ahead of the two-match Test series against Bangladesh, Rohit stated that the Indian team is solely focused on executing their game plan.
“We understand that every team enjoys beating India, but we don’t dwell on that,” Rohit said at a press conference. “Our focus is on our own performance and achieving our objectives.”
Rohit acknowledged Bangladesh’s recent Test series victory in Pakistan, but he expressed confidence in his team’s preparation. “We’ve had a productive camp in Chennai and are well-prepared,” he said.
Regarding the potential inclusion of KL Rahul in the playing XI, Rohit expressed his belief in Rahul’s abilities. “KL Rahul has the talent to succeed in Test cricket,” Rohit said. “I have no doubt that he can be successful in this format.”
With the World Test Championship (WTC) final in sight, Rohit stressed the importance of every match. “Every game is crucial when playing for the country,” he said. “We’re not treating this series as a dress rehearsal for Australia. We need to start the season strongly and accumulate WTC points.”
India’s upcoming schedule includes a five-Test series in Australia in November, following the two Tests against Bangladesh and three Tests against New Zealand at home.
