All the youngsters needed was a little bit of assurance and a platform: Rohit
After the series win, Rohit opened up on the contributions made by the youngsters in helping India register a massive win over England. The 36-year-old mentioned that all the cricketers are blessed with skills, and all they needed was a little bit of assurance and a platform to perform at the highest level. He added that the team management gave them a lot of comfort and that’s the reason, they got the desired result.
“All of these guys are extremely talented. All they needed was a little bit of assurance and a platform. We didn't want to keep putting pressure on them. We wanted to make sure our job at the start of the series was to give them the comfort, and assurance, that they're going to play all five Test matches. Because we may not accept it, but it is the fact that it plays in everyone's mind, 'Okay, if I don't get it right in a couple of Test matches, I may get dropped'. The insecurity always creeps in,” Rohit told JioCinema.
Meanwhile, following the series win, India became the number-one ranked Test team in the world. They are also on the top of the WTC points table at the moment.
