Having led Mumbai Indians to three Indian Premier League titles, Rohit Sharma is ready for the India role.
“It will be completely a different ball game but the process and basics of captaincy remain the same.
“I don’t need to change anything. I just need to carry from where we left as a team. I will make changes when necessary.”
Rohit pleaded for consistent support to the players.
“It is important to give these guys fair amount of games before they prove themselves.
“Shreyas (Iyer), Manish (Pandey) and Dinesh (Karthik) haven’t got enough games on the trot and as a team management we want to make sure they get it.”
On youngsters like Washington Sundar, Basil Thampi and Deepak Hooda in the team now, Rohit noted, “It is important that the team management give the newcomers all the respect and support.
“I remember when I came into the team it was all that is required. They have played enough and I don’t want to put any extra pressure on them,” he said.
“It will be all about living in the moment, living the dream of playing for India. Because not many people get the opportunity to play for India,” he said.
