The number of fans who arrived here to see us playing and win was satisfactory. When you are playing on such a pitch, there are too many expectations. We understand their strength and take advantage of it.
Rohit said, ‘His (KL Rahul) mind is very strong. He is never disturbed by the pressure around him. This is the reason why we wanted to keep it in the middle order. When he bats and plays the right shot according to the situation, he gives the batsmen like Hardik Pandya to play openly to play openly.
Rohit says, ‘When we play on such pitches, we want the batsmen to do something different. He (Varun Chakraborty) did not start for us in the tournament, but when he played against New Zealand and took 5 wickets, we wanted to take maximum advantage of it. His bowling has the best quality. I am very grateful to fans.
‘We have made this game the way …’
Rohit Sharma said about his stormy batting in the final, ‘Looks good. We played very well throughout the tournament. I am very happy with the way we played this game.

In the World Cup 2023 with Rahul Bhai and now with Goti Bhai.
Rohit further said, ‘I have played in a different style in these years. I wanted to see if we could get results by playing differently. After playing some innings here, you understand the nature of the pitch. Using feet during batting is something that I have been doing for some time. I have been out too, but I never wanted to see away from it.
