Rohit further dissected his example and stressed that India’s focus as a side was on individual players looking to fulfill their role in a specific stage of the game.
“As a captain I really like that, because I think the role we talk about – everyone played their role, and still not one or two people made 70-80 runs. One made 50, and then the other 6 players made 23-30 each and made us reach 198,” he added.
“That is because the role that we have given each player – he did his role in his phase. That’s when we reached that score.
“Our focus is not on the individual score, it is on the role, how you will play the role.”
Though unbeaten in the tournament, India’s Achilles heel in their recent ICC tournament appearances has been the knockout contest. They lost in the semi-final of the 2022 edition of the Men’s T20 World Cup while they’ve also suffered losses in the finals of the ICC World Test Championship and the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup last year.
