Those little efforts is what will give us more results consistently: Rohit Sharma

Indian skipper Rohit Sharma weighed in on the difficulties of adapting to a different mindset but is delighted with the players focusing on little things. Since India’s agonising exit from the T20 World Cup 2021, the team has maintained an excellent record in the T20Is and is yet to lose a series under the leadership of Rohit.

The latest assignments against West Indies saw a dominating performance from the Indian side as they won the series 4-1. More than the victory, India has adopted a specific strategy of going hard against the opposition bowlers.

Rohit mentioned the talks inside the dressing room on the mode and approach of the team and said that he is happy with how things are going at the moment. He felt that it takes a big deal to adapt to new thoughts and noted about the team reaped a lot of success by working on things that have been brought down to notice in the team talks.

“We have talked many times about what we wanted to do, how we wanted to play. It is one thing talking about it and it is another to go out there and doing it. I felt everyone was trying to do that, in that, most of us actually went and did that. That to me was very pleasing,” Rohit said after India’s big win in the fifth and final T20I.

“Not just me and him (Dravid) are talking, we all are doing that. Firstly, I want to appreciate everyone buying into the thought and then going out there and doing it. It takes a lot, it is not easy, we have tried it and we have succeeded in most occasions, which is a good thing,” he added.

Rohit said that he feels it is important for him as the skipper to make sure the process continues and it doesn’t stop once the results start to be evident. He added that the India team will be keen on staying on top in the little moments of the game and was confident that it will provide more results consistently.

“That is what I wanted to address as captain, to the group because it was one important thing that we wanted to achieve and we have pretty much achieved it but it does not mean it is the end of the road for us. Lot to play for and we will continue to keep topping up those little aspects of the game and again, just wanted to appreciate, it takes a lot to change your game, it takes a lot to get into different mindset. For me individual brilliance is good, but those little, little efforts from us is what will give us more results consistently and that is what we are looking for,” he added.
