Rohit Sharma Takes a Strong Take over Critics After Team India’s Aggressive Showcase During Kanpur Test

During an interview with the BCCI.tv, Team India skipper Rohit Sharma opened up on the team's aggressive intent on Day 4 of the Kanpur Test at the Green Park Stadium. The India captain opened up on taking risks after two days of play was washed out, and Team India needed a win to solidify themselves in the World Test Championship standings. He also took a swipe at the critics for opting a risky approach to get the results. He pointed out that the critics would have been all out against them if the results did not land in their favour.

"When things fall in place, everything looks good, and that is where it can change very quickly when things don't fall in place. Everybody would have started criticizing the decision we took and all of that. But what matters is what we think inside this changing room, and that is what matters.

"It was a clear plan that we want a result. How did we get that... everybody started finding answers to that," Rohit Sharma said after the India vs Bangladesh Test Match in Kanpur.
