Players responsible to make fans happy: Rohit Sharma

India takes on West Indies later today in the second semifinal of the World T20 at the Wankhede Stadium. For a player like Rohit Sharma, it is a homecoming of sorts. Having played much of his cricket at the Wankhede Stadium, the 28-year old has enjoyed a surge in his international career on this ground. However, Rohit Sharma hasn’t been in the greatest of form in the World T20.

Inability to make an impact like he is capable of and getting dismissed to horrible and irresponsible shots has seen him become a contender for a selection twinge. However, while the Indian management will be hoping for a turn in the fortunes of the opener, Sharma too will be hoping that he can make something of the opportunity handed to him at his home ground.

In a recent presser, Rohit Sharma has gone on to state that the players are directly responsible for the happiness of the fans. Apart from the fans, Sharma also mentioned that the overhauling a strong West Indies side will most certainly be a tall order.

“People follow the sport like crazy. They want their team to win, they want to come out and support no matter what, which is good to see. All the venues we’ve played at we’ve got tremendous support. It’s our responsibility to [win] for them and make them happy,” Rohit said.

West Indies are [some] of the most dangerous competitors. The way they play cricket is fearless. You can’t expect what’s coming. You’ve got to be ready in all departments,” he said. “We know their strengths, but they have weaknesses as well, we’ll try to exploit that,” he said.
