Asia Cup 2023: My Role As A Top-order Batter Is Important For The Team – Rohit Sharma Aware Of His Role With The Bat Ahead Of Pakistan Clash

Indian skipper Rohit Sharma admitted that he has consciously played high-risk cricket in the white-ball format of the game in the last couple of years. Rohit’s form will be crucial for Team India’s success in the Asia Cup opener against arch-rivals Pakistan on Saturday.

Besides, the team will require him to be at his absolute best going into the mega event as the Men in Blue will be desperate to do well in the ongoing continental event.

Speaking to the media, Rohit Sharma wants to use the experience to do well for the team in the Asia Cup 2o23 and admitted that he needs to bring a proper balance in the game before taking risks. He is aware of his role at the top-order, where he needs to produce some big innings for the team in the upcoming events.

“I have played a lot of cricket so it’s important to use that experience. Will do what the team requires from me. In the past two years, I have played a different brand of cricket – it was a high-risk cricket when it comes to batting. I need to bring the right balance to my game – when it comes to taking risks,” Rohit Sharma said.

“My role as a top-order batter is important for the team. To bat long for the team and put the team in a good position. The idea will be to use my experience to put the team in a good position,” Rohit added.

The 36-year-old could not bring the best out of their players since he took up the mantle from ace batter Virat Kohli, as he failed to win a major trophy captaining the side in the last couple of years. He would look to inspire the Indian team going into the continental event.

“I didn’t think about that in the last one and a half years, I was playing high-risk cricket, and will try to bring the right balance in my game in the Asia Cup,” Rohit Sharma further added.

In the recent past, the Men in Blue crumbled under pressure in the crunch moments of the game. Now, they will look to put their bad performance behind them to win the championship in Sri Lanka and get themselves prepared for the ODI World Cup in India.
