Rohit Sharma Press Conference: The first Test match between India and Bangladesh will begin on September 19 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Ahead of the second Test match, Rohit publicly responded to the Bangladesh team’s remarks. Rohit said that let the Bangladesh team have fun and they will be taken care of.

Indian captain Rohit Sharma speaks at a press conference ahead of the first Test match in Chennai. In this press conference, Rohit was asked about the remarks made by Bangladesh players. To this, Rohit said that all teams love to beat India, let them enjoy it. When he came to England, he also said a lot in the media, but we didn’t pay attention to it. We try to play good cricket.

Just a few days ago, Bangladesh won its first two-test series against Pakistan. After that, the enthusiasm of the team was at its peak. Bangladesh defeated Pakistan in both the two tests held in Labindi. He won the first test by 10 wickets and won the second test by 6 wickets.

In fact, Rohit said that England tried to play mind games with a lot of their remarks in the press conference before the 2024 Test match. Rohit made it clear that our team did not give him many chances. We showed our game.

“It was always on my mind how I could win,” said Rohit Sharma. “We cricketers have a limited time to influence the game and we want to win whatever we play.

Will the break affect the Indian team?

Responding to a question, Rohit Sharma said that even if the team comes back to play after a break in the Test matches, it will not have much of an impact. Because it has happened before. In such a situation, it is easy for us to adapt to the situation and therefore a small camp was organized in Chennai. Players who had not played for a long time came here after playing the Duleep Trophy.

In fact, the Indian cricket team played its last Test match against England in Dharamsala in March 2024. India won the series 4-1 between January and March 2024.

Rohit talks about Bumrah’s workload management

Talking about workload management, Rohit said that we want the best players to be available at all times. But here it must be seen that T20s are played in the middle of Test matches. In such a situation, we have to be careful about workload management. Regarding Bumrah, Rohit said that even in the England series, we gave Bumrah time to rest and gave opportunities to Mohammad Siraj.

Rohit publicly supports KL Rahul

About KL Rahul, he said that since Rohit took over as captain, we wanted him to play every game. KL Rahul played well after his return. He played well in Hyderabad but after that he got injured. He played as per the message we gave to KL Rahul; I hope he can continue from where he was after the Hyderabad Test match. KL Rahul also scored a goal against South Africa. Sarwar played well in the last series and Yurel and Sarfaraz also played well in the series against England.

“KL Rahul has the ability to perform well in Test cricket and I see no reason why he cannot succeed in this format,” said Rohit Sharma.

It is worth noting that in the last three Test matches, Rahul scored a hundred against South Africa, one of the best Test innings in recent years, and scored 86 in the last Test match in Hyderabad before getting injured. On the other hand, Sarfaraz Khan got his chance in the series against England. He scored 200 runs in 5 innings in 3 matches at an average of 50.

Rohit talks about Gautam Gambhir and Abhishek Nair

Rohit Sharma was also asked at the press conference about the changes that have taken place after the arrival of the new coaching staff. To this, Rohit said, “New staff have arrived but I already know Gautam Gambhir and Abhishek Nair (assistant coaches), I have played against Moeen Morkel (bowling coach). And played a few games with Ryan ten Dushat (assistant coach). Rahul Dravid, Paras Mahambre, Vikram Rathore have different approaches. I have been bowling for 17 years, so I know that every coaching staff has a different approach.”
