“I am enjoying my batting but obviously keeping in mind the team and the situation. It is not like that I have to go and swing my bat mindlessly – I have to use it (the bat) well, have to play well and get the team in good situations – that is my mindset,” said Rohit Sharma.
“The scoreboard is zero when I open, I have to set the tone for the game,” the 36-year-old added. “I have the advantage, you can call it, that I am opening the batting and there is no pressure of (a fallen) wicket. When you have to start you can play fearlessly but then last game we were put under pressure in the Powerplay, we lost three wickets,” he stated.
“In an ideal world, you don’t want a situation like this. I’m pretty sure the concerned people are taking the necessary steps to avoid these kind of situations. But obviously, looking at our future generation, your kids, my kids, obviously, it’s quite important that they get to live without any fear… we have to look after our future generation,” he added.
