IND vs PAK: Rohit Sharma's 'he did not do well against Ireland' comment on Virat Kohli goes viral

IND vs PAK: India captain Rohit Sharma has talked about Virat Kohli's failure against Ireland ahead of the team's T20 World Cup 2024 match against Pakistan at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York on Sunday, June 9.

Virat Kohli was dismissed for one off five on a very tricky New York pitch. Rohit Shama said Kohli failed in the match, but his experience of playing around the world and in big tournaments was unmatchable. He added that the team was not bothered about his opening partner's early departure against the Irish squad on Wednesday.

"[Virat] didn't play the Bangladesh [warm-up] game but he's had enough training under his belt before this game. He trained yesterday. He did not have a great outing in the first game but we are not going to look too much into that. The kind of experience that he has, playing all over the world, playing in big tournaments, nothing can beat that," Rohit Sharma said in the press conference ahead of India vs Pakistan match of T20 World Cup 2024.

IND vs PAK: Not relying on one of two players - Rohit Sharma

Rohit Sharma also made it clear that the team was not looking to rely upon one or two players. He said the team was looking for a collective effort. The 37-year-old also expressed belief that the players would play as per the conditions. Notably, New York pitch has faced a lot of criticism. Run-scoring has been really difficult at the venue where pacers have played a key role.

"I don't want to rely on one or two individuals to win us the game," he said. "I think all 11 of us need to contribute. Of course, there are key players who are going to play key roles for us but I think everyone needs to chip in whatever they can, however they can in their best possible way.

"I expect everyone to make good decisions – at least, try and make good decisions. As long as you think and make decisions based on what you see in front of you, you're giving yourself the best chance of having success," Rohit Sharma added.
