There is no point creating pressure within ourselves: Rohit Sharma

On the other hand, the India skipper has said that there is no point in discussing about the INDO-PAK among players and creating pressure. Talking about the game, it always bring the pressure of a must-win game as fans from both nation expect their team to do well. Sharma also spoke about the conversation the players had during the Men’s Asia Cup 2022.

“Nahi jaise Babar ne bola… We understand the game against Pakistan, but there is no point in talking about it every time and creating that pressure within yourselves. Hum log aapas mein jab bhi mile jaise Asia Cup mile, abhi mile, hum puchte hai ‘ghar mein kya haalchaal hai? family kaisi hai?’ bas us cheez k bare mein hum bat karte hai. Aur jitne bhi inke teamates se main mila hu.. Jo hamare pahle generation k players hai unho bhi hame bataya tha apas mein gharr k bare mein baatchit hoti hai… ‘Life kaisi hai’ kaunsi nayi gaadi khareedi hai. Ye saab baat hoti hai. 

(Whenever we meet against the Pakistan players, we met them in the Asia Cup and now… we talk about how are things back home, how the families are. Even our previous generation cricketers also told us the same thing. We just talk about what is going on, how is life and what new car they have bought or they are about to buy),” said Rohit during the media session.
