“When We Picked Team…”: Rohit Sharma About Team After Seeing NewYork Pitch

All waiting for the T20 World Cup has already started and a few countries have already played their first matches, India is also one of them which played the game against Ireland and won the match with 8 wickets.

Rohit after seeing the pitch, had given a hint about the selection mistake of taking 4 spinners as it will be of no use.

Rohit speaking after the Post-match Presentation, said,

“Yeah, just a little sore (the arm). I said it at the toss as well. Quite unsure of what to expect from the pitch. Not aware of what it is to play like on a pitch that’s five months old.”

“I don’t think the wicket settled down even when we batted second. There was enough for the bowlers,” he added.

“Try to hit those lengths consistently. That’s what pretty much what you have got to do. All these guys have played a lot of Test cricket. Arshdeep is the only guy who hasn’t. His two wickets upfront set the tone for us.”

Also said that,

“Don’t think we can play four spinners here (laughs). When we picked the team, we wanted to have the balance. If conditions are there for seamers, we wanted to have that. Spin will play a part later on (West Indies).

“Today was a four-seamer pitch and we still managed to get two spinners who are all-rounders.”

“I don’t know what to expect from the pitch, to be honest. We will prepare as if the conditions are going to be like this (for the Pakistan game). This is going to be a kind of game where all XI of us will need to contribute.”

“It was scratchy, but good to spend some time in the middle and understand what kind of shots to play there.”

“Coming from India, with the ball seaming around, I wouldn’t complain when there’s help for bowlers. In this format, you have to adapt to the conditions, you have to be proactive.”

“Trying to stick to the plans and trying to go back to what has worked for me. You always want to cover all the bases in these conditions. You got to be prepared, very happy with the outing today.”

“We needed to put a bit of pressure back on the Indian bowlers. They didn’t miss that often. Their groupings and lengths were outstanding.”
