‌IND vs BAN | ‘Teams derive a lot of fun in beating India,’ Rohit Sharma’s cheeky dig amidst team’s preparations in Chennai

"We all know the quality of Rahul, he has got the talent - we must give clear message - since he came back, he scored a Hundred in South Africa, 80+ in Hyderabad then unfortunately got injured. Honestly, you don't need to speak too much to them (Jaiswal, Jurel & Sarfaraz). We saw glimpses what they can do. Jurel especially with the glove in hand… they are very hungry and hungry for success as well. Jaiswal had a great series last time, Jurel as well scoring runs in tough situations. Sarfaraz, who is fearless. I think we have a mix of everything which is a good sign,” Rohit said in the Pres Conference as quoted by Timesnownews.

The skipper also mentioned his history working with the members of the new coaching setup. Shouldering arms along with Gautam Gambhir and Abhishek Nayar, Rohit knows him ‘well’. He also mentioned playing against Morne Morkel, India’s newly appointed bowling coach, and how ‘tough’ competitor he was during playing days. However, Rohit had little to say about Ryan ten Doeschate and highlighted the importance of understanding and adaptability with the new think tank.

“Everybody wants to beat India. Teams derive a lot of fun in beating India. Lene do maze unko (So let them (Bangladesh) have fun. India has played against all teams. We don't strategize differently whether it is Bangladesh, Australia or any other team. We will try and focus on our game.” the 37-year-old added.
