Rohit Sharma is currently gearing up for the upcoming Asia Cup as India will begin their campaign on 2 September 2023. However, this tournament is going to be a great platform for him as he will look to win it and get prepared for the upcoming ODI World Cup in India, starting in October.
Meanwhile, the whole team is in Bengaluru for a preparation camp for this Asia Cup. But, just before joining that camp, in an exclusive chat with PTI, the Team India skipper opened up on achieving his goals in the next two months. He also vowed that one championship will not change him as a person. After listening to such statements, fans shared their views on social media.
“I want to shut out everything.” - Rohit Sharma
Rohit said: “A person can't change overnight with his success or failures. I don't think one result or one championship can change me as a person. I have not changed as a person in the last 16 years and I don't think anything needs to change on that front. The focus will be on how I can achieve my goals in the next two months, for me and my team. A person can't change in a period of one or two months."
He had a great ODI World Cup in 2019 where he scored 648 runs and was the highest run-scorer. So, Rohit vowed to revisit the same zone ahead of the two big events. "I was in great frame of mind and prepared really well for the tournament. I was in good shape, good mindset. I want to bring that back and I have time to do that. Trying to recollect what were the right things that I was doing before the 2019 World Cup as a cricketer and as a person. I want to revisit that thought-process of mine personally," he further added.
"For me, it is important how I keep myself relaxed and not worry about external factors that play a role, whether positively or not negatively. I want to shut out everything. I want to get into the phase I was in before the 2019 World Cup,” Rohit Sharma concluded.
