Rohit Sharma's approach key for India's chances

Rohit Sharma has made it pretty clear that he wants to instill a brand of ultra-attacking cricket within the Indian team ever since he became their captain. The swashbuckling opener feels that is the way to move forward in the shortest format.

Rohit has also led by example through some of his blistering cameos in recent months. The Indian skipper has gone after the bowlers early on to give Kl Rahul and Virat Kohli some breathing space to settle at the crease and anchor the innings.

However, given how dangerous he can be once he gets set in this format, the star opener might want to reconsider this approach, atleast for the big game against Pakistan.

As seen in the 2019 ODI World Cup, Rohit can make Pakistan pay dearly if he gives himself some time to settle at the crease before cutting loose. It will be interesting to see whether he chooses to do something similar when the two teams meet in the T20 World Cup 2022 on October 23.

He could also decide to play second fiddle to Rahul in the powerplay. The latter smashed a fantastic 57 from 33 balls in India's warm-up game against Australia, while Rohit was subdued before being dismissed for 15 off 14 deliveries.


India squad for the ICC T20 World Cup: Rohit Sharma (Captain), KL Rahul (vice-captain), Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Deepak Hooda, Rishabh Pant (wicket-keeper), Dinesh Karthik (wicket-keeper), Hardik Pandya, R. Ashwin, Yuzvendra Chahal, Axar Patel, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Harshal Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Mohammed Shami.

Standby players: Mohammed Siraj, Shreyas Iyer, Ravi Bishnoi, Shardul Thakur.
