India captain Rohit Sharma spoke after a convincing win against Ireland in the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup 2024. 

India won the toss and everything went right for them since. Rohit Sharma's men bundled Ireland out for a mere 96, thanks to the Indian pacers. Then India went on to chase the total down with 8 wickets and 46 deliveries in hand, courtesy of a Rohit Sharma fifty. However, Rohit Sharma did pick up an injury, which forced him to retire hurt on 52.

Rohit said, "Just a little sore. New ground, new venue, wanted to see what's it like to play on. I don't think the pitch settled down, there was enough there for the bowlers. Good to get the points. Stick to your basics, think about Test match bowling. Arshdeep can swing the ball into the right-handers and that set the tone."

Rohit continued, "Don't think we can play four spinners here. If the conditions are there for the seamers, we wanted them in the squad. The spinners will play their part later in the tournament. We are open to making changes to the team's needs.

When speaking about the all important India Pakistan clash, Rohit said, "I don't know what to expect from the pitch but we will prepare as if conditions are going to be like that. That will be a game where all XI of us need to come together and contribute. It was scratchy but good to spend time in the middle, hopefully we can do the same [against Pakistan]."
