Rohit Sharma says we felt there needs to be a change in our attitude after the T20 WC in 2021
The T20 World Cup last year has been a bad tournament for team India as the then Virat Kohli-led side couldn’t help the team India to reach the semi-final, after facing a bad defeat from Pakistan and New Zealand in the super 12s stages.

Regular skipper Rohit Sharma talked about what happened after the side failed to progress ahead in the tournament and what type of equation he shares with now head coach Rahul Dravid.
“We have made it very clear after the T20 World Cup in Dubai when we did not qualify and we felt there needs to be a change in our attitude, our approach, and how we play the game so we had the clear message given to the boys. They were ready to accept that challenge. Not too many chops and changes in the squad. With Rahul Bhai, I have played some games with him, he was my first captain when I made my ODI debut so obviously, we have some sort of understanding,”
said Rohit on Star Sports’ show ‘Follow The Blues’.
“And when he became the coach here, we met and sat together in a room for a while and we decided how we want to take this team forward and he was pretty much on the same thought process of how I was thinking,”
he added.
Asia Cup will be arranged by Sri Lanka in the UAE after the mega event was moved out of Sri Lanka due to the ongoing economic crisis in the country. Pakistan and India will play the tournament clash on August 28 in Dubai. The opening game of the tournament will be played between Sri Lanka and Afghanistan.
Rohit Sharma took the responsibility for India’s white-ball cricket after the 2021 World Cup. Earlier in 2022, Rohit was also made the Test commander after Virat Kohli stepped down following a series loss against South Africa.
Under Rohit’s leadership, team India had recently won the ODI and T20I series against England. The T20 World Cup will be played in Australia this year with India also set to square off against Pakistan at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
