Rohit Sharma again started ‘preparing for defeat’ (PC-PTI)
Under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, Team India suffered an embarrassing defeat against New Zealand. Now the Indian team has to go to Australia to play the next test series, where the Indian team canceled the practice match. Captain Rohit Sharma has given the reason for the cancellation of this match. Rohit Sharma says that instead of a practice match, the Indian team has planned a special type of practice in which conditions will be created exactly the same as the match and all players will get more opportunities.
How will Team India practice?
Rohit Sharma said about the canceled practice match in Australia: “Instead of a practice match, we are planning a practice similar to a match with India A. In this practice, the batsmen will be able to spend maximum time on the field. The bowlers will be able to play as much as possible. We are more comfortable in this type of practice than in practice.
Will there be a loss for not playing practice games?
However, this strategy by Rohit Sharma and company can also harm the team. Because if there was a practice match against India A, the players would have gone in with the same mindset. If the batsmen knew they would be out, they would have to come out. But in the kind of practice Rohit talks about, the players will remain mentally relaxed. The big players of the Indian team had not participated in the Duleep Trophy even before the Test series against New Zealand. He just practiced and then its effect was seen in the test series. Team India lost that series 0-3.
