Rohit had previously stated that keeping the fans’ enthusiasm in check is essential for players. Whether he manages to do this by keeping his phone off or not using social media is up to each individual. Some people prefer it, while others do not.
However, Rohit provided some insights into how he handles the pressure, stating, “How I manage the pressure, that’s not to say. I’ve said many times before, this is a big match. At the moment, it’s about playing against the opposition. They are a well-rounded team. It’s important at this moment to focus on how we play against them, what we can do and perform consistently.”
He also emphasized that there’s no specific strategy to single out Pakistan as an opponent, stating, “There’s no need to make it a bigger game than it already is. We prepare for every match the same way, and the message for everyone in the team will be the same.”
In the end, the India-Pakistan cricket match is not just a game; it’s a spectacle that transcends borders and stirs the passions of millions of fans on both sides.
