Rohit Sharma: Shouldn't focus too much on what happened in Delhi

India's bowling attack in the first T20 was not up to the mark. However, Rohit Sharma stated that the team doesn't need to focus too much on what happened back in Delhi. He further mentioned that there will be no change in the batting line up. However, the bowling attack will be decided after analysing the pitch. "I don't think we need to think about what happened there (Delhi). Of course, I think the combination that we played in the last game was based on the pitch, so we will see the pitch again today and decide what we need to do in our bowling line up and our batting line up looks good so I don't think we need any change there. We will analyze the pith and see if there is any difference and based on that we will try to see what we can do as a team," he said.

The stand-in skipper responding to a reporter's question on his motivation, Rohit Sharma said that it did not matter which format he played and that he aimed to put up his best performance. Rohit Sharma said that the very fact that he was representing 1.3 billion people was his biggest motivation to go out on the field and perform at his best.
