India all-rounder Hardik Pandya praised Rohit Sharma’s leadership ahead of the India vs. Pakistan World Cup 2023 match, pointing out how Sharma has continuously helped and inspired a number of players throughout his captaincy. Pandya underlined that squad members have been given the opportunity to use their talents and express themselves on the field while working under Sharma’s direction.
When Virat Kohli resigned as India’s captain in November 2021, Rohit first served as the T20I captain. Following Kohli’s resignation as captain of all formats, he was given the task of guiding India across all formats.
Hardik Pandya underlined that the India opener has consistently supported and given various players valuable opportunities while serving as captain.
“I believe that we are now seeing the results of his support of many boys since he arrived. The guys are moving and expressing themselves in various ways. In an ICC video, Pandya stated, “Rohit has been special in providing them plenty of opportunities while also reminding them you know what, I got it back.
Before the match, Rohit Sharma downplays the anticipation for India vs. Pakistan.
The Indian cricket team is presently playing in the ICC World Cup 2023 under the leadership of Rohit Sharma, and they have a spotless record, winning both of their games. ‘Hitman’s’ magnificent century against Afghanistan in their most recent match was crucial in ensuring India’s victory. This accomplishment came after India’s recent win at the Asia Cup 2023. The 36-year-old hopes to guide his country to victory in the ICC World Cup 2023 thanks to home field advantage.
The Indian skipper made an effort to downplay the anticipation for their match against Pakistan before it began. He emphasized that his squad would approach this match much like they have approached previous ones during the pre-match press conference at the Narendra Modi Stadium, downplaying the importance of the contest.
