‘A lot of challenges thrown at us…’ – Captain Rohit Sharma opens up about team environment following 4th Test match against England

In the 4th Test match of the 5-match series, India defeated England by five wickets. Post the match, Captain Rohit Sharma praised the young team who gave their best in dominating the experienced English side throughout the series. Moreover, Rohit mentioned the importance of having a good team environment instead of frequent advice sessions. As the youngsters have a good grasp of the game, as per the captain, they don’t need much advice on how to play the game.

“It’s been a very hard-fought series, so to come on the right side of it feels very good. A lot of challenges were thrown at us but we responded and were quite composed. These (youngsters) guys want to be here, growing up in the domestic circuit, local club cricket, and coming here. It’s a big challenge, but the responses I get are encouraging. We have to give them the environment they want to be in, we can’t just keep talking to them, they are very clear in what they want to do,” said Rohit.

India won the fourth Test match in Ranchi where the game seemed to be out of their hands. When India needed 192 runs to win the match, they lost five wickets in 120 runs. However, Shubman Gill’s half-century and Dhruv Jurel’s 32 runs saved the day and the match as well. This proves the quality of batters India has in their team.

Moreover, the entire cricket fraternity is happy with the way Jurel has performed in the series so far,

Rohit said, “Jurel playing his second Test showed solid composure, calmness and he’s got the shots as well to play all around the wicket. In the first innings 90 of his was very crucial for us to get close to England’s total and again in the second innings showed a lot of maturity, and composure along with Gill.”
