Rohit Sharma says “When we play fearlessly, this is what we get” in T20 World Cup 2021. Sharma admitted that the side went in with a “fearless” approach. Also, in the match against Afghanistan, which helped them register their first win. Moreover, India defeated Afghanistan by 66 runs within the Super 12 clash. Batting first after losing the toss in Abu Dhabi. India put up a forcing 210 for 2. Sharma top-scored with 74 whereas KL Rahul contributed 69. The bowlers then restricted the resistance to 144 for 7. Expressing on India’s impressive win, Rohit candidly stated that the team came up with the brand of cricket. They wanted to play in the first two games but could not.
“We know that if we lose any game from now on, we are out of the tournament. So we have to win everything. When you are in that kind of a situation, you have to play fearlessly and not think about what is happening elsewhere,” Rohit Sharma said.

“The approach today from everyone was different and I wish it was in the first two games as well, but it didn’t happen. That can happen when you are on the road for a long time. Decision-making can sometimes be a problem and that is exactly what happened in the first two games. We are a very good team, it is just that we were not good on that particular day against Pakistan and New Zealand. “We know that if we lose any game from now on, also we are out of the tournament. So we have to win everything. When you are in that kind of a situation, you have to play fearlessly and not think about what is happening elsewhere,” Sharma said.
Lastly, Sharma did not agree with the suggestion. The batters struggled in the first two games as they took time to adjust. Also, to their roles coming indirectly from the India Premier League.
