Rohit Focused on Maximizing All-Rounders Ahead of World Cup Opener

India’s T20 World Cup squad features four crucial all-rounders, and captain Rohit Sharma emphasized their significance as the team prepares for the tournament. Hardik Pandya and Shivam Dube are the pace-bowling all-rounders, while Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel offer left-arm spin options along with their batting skills. Rohit mentioned that playing all four in the same eleven could provide a longer batting lineup and additional bowling flexibility. “To create a good balance, you need many all-rounders,” Rohit said, highlighting the strategic advantage they bring in various conditions.

Rohit also discussed the importance of adaptability and finding the best combination for each match, given the conditions and opponents. Besides the four all-rounders, wrist spinners Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal are part of India’s potent attack, offering further depth. Reflecting on India’s recent warm-up match against Bangladesh and considering the playing conditions in New York, Rohit underscored the need to balance the batting and bowling options. “We have to find the best combination and see what will suit our team,” he noted, emphasizing the importance of flexibility and quick adaptation to the playing environment.
