Ahead of the game team India skipper Rohit Sharma was there for the pre-match press conference and he replied to every question quite calmly he believes head coach Rahul Dravid had a big role in the tournament and they need to win it for the former India skipper. 

We have prepared for this day ever since I became the captain: Rohit Sharma

Rohit said, "Rahul Dravid's role has been absolutely massive, especially in terms of giving role clarity to players. It's quite contrasting in how he played his cricket and how I play my cricket and to agree on certain things, to give us that liberty, that says a lot about him. What he has done for Indian cricket is massive and he also wants to be part of this occasion. Let's do it for him!"

On further being asked about he said, "We have prepared for this day ever since I became the captain. We had to identify players in the last 2 years, as per the formats. We had given role clarity and lots of discussions between the captain and coach. The importance of role clarity is huge for us in reaching this platform. We have tried our best to keep the mindset and roles clear. So far so good, hopefully tomorrow as well."
