What did Hitman Rohit Sharma say…
In an interview, Rohit Sharma said, ‘Earlier I used to play 30 balls in the first 10 overs and scored only 10 runs, but now if I play 20 balls, why can’t I score 30, 35 or 40 runs? And the days when I bowl fast, press the accelerator, it is not bad to score 80 runs in the first 10 overs. Now this is what I think.
He further said, ‘I have done this;’ I have scored the runs I wanted to make. Now I want to play cricket in a different way. I am not taking any of these things lightly. Do not think that things will continue like this, I will keep scoring 20 or 30 runs and will keep playing. The day I feel that I cannot do what I want to do on the field, on the same day I will stop playing. This is sure, but right now I know that what I am doing is helping the team.
