Indian opener Rohit Sharma, who scored a match winning 137 against Bangladesh in the Quarter-Finals of the ICC World Cup 2015 spoke to the media ahead of tomorrow’s Semi-Final clash. He expressed confidence that India can win the match as they know how to play big matches. He also added that spinners (R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja) will be key and he along with Shikhar Dhawan should bat with responsibility as openers.
Indian opener said Of course we can win, no question about it. We know how to play big games. Spinners have been vital, responsibility will be on openers. It does not worry us what sort of wicket we get because we are confident of doing well on any surface. We have taken 70 wickets in seven matches, bowled out the opposition every time, so we know what we need to do.
Rohit, who had a verbal spat with David Warner during the tri-series, said he expected a fiery contest between two sides. Warner was slapped with a fine after telling Indian opener to “speak English”. A bit of sledging is okay as long as boundaries are not crossed. The Indian team will not cross the line, but we will not back down either, Rohit said.
