‘Pehle run maarle, fir title ke baare me sochiyo’ – Fans react to Rohit Sharma’s ‘I would like to win 1-2 major titles as a captain’ comment

Team India skipper, Rohit Sharma has declared his commitment to lead the team to victory and take Indian cricket to new heights as the eagerly awaited World Test Championship Final approaches. Sharma spoke firmly about his role to advance Indian cricket ahead of the pivotal match against Australia and emphasized the team’s ultimate objective of winning games and championships.

“I have got the job to take Indian cricket forward and win as many games as possible – that is what you play for and win titles,” Rohit was quoted as saying in the press conference ahead of the World Test Championship (WTC) final 2023 against Australia. Rohit’s statements demonstrate the persistent focus and passion in the Indian camp as they get ready for the significant battle. He has his sights set on triumph.

Message for all the boys is that they should be ready: Rohit Sharma

The last time the Indian team took home any major trophy was in 2013 when then-skipper MS Dhoni won the Champions Trophy. The Indian team has been without a trophy ever since then, coming very close several times but never quite making it. Rohit Sharma spoke on the topic and made a bold statement that he wouldn’t mind it if the Indian team won a few major titles while he was in charge. “I would like to win 1-2 major titles as a captain,” the 35-year-old asserted.

For the second time in a row, the Indian team has advanced to the World Test Championship final. They did, however, lose to New Zealand in the final the first time. The Rose Bowl in Southampton, where the final was contested, featured favourable conditions for the seamers. In what has been seen as massive blunder from India, Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin, two spinners, were chosen by the Indian team to compete.

In the year 2023, the Indian spin pair of Jadeja and Ashwin has gone to London for the final game with Australia. But once more, the circumstances make it possible to play just one of them. Rohit Sharma delivered a courteous reply when asked who of the two players is more likely to make it into the Starting XI for the massive match, stating that it will be a last-minute decision. “Pitch and condition keep changing. Message for all the boys is that they should be ready. We will see tomorrow and will decide who will play,” the right-hand opener stated.

Here’s how fans reacted to Rohit Sharma’s statement:

Okay. But ask him to make sure he contributes some runs at the top.

@mufaddal_vohra Wow, that's a really ambitious goal! I hope he also aims to win a few games and score a few centuries as well.

He would be immortal like Kapil Dev and Dhoni, if he wins the WORLD CUP.
