Rohit Sharma appeared in the press conference ahead of the 2023 Cricket ODI World Cup match against Australia. The Indian captain spoke to the media ahead of the big match. "Yeah, I mean look, you heard the great man say that so many times that you know until he wins the World Cup, he's got a bit of unfinished business. I am sure you know who I'm talking about," said Sharma.
The 36-year-old spoke about the process of winning the big tournament and mentioned ODI World Cup as the biggest prize. "So, it's the same for us as well. You know, you want to win the World Cup, It's the biggest prize that you can have in your career. But again, there's a way to do it. There's a procedure that you need to follow. There's a process to it," said Rohit.
Rohit added that he is hungry and desperate for runs. "In desperation, you can do so many things that can lead to so many other things as well. So, it's good to be desperate. It's good to be hungry. But you've got to find that balance, right?" added Rohit and focused on the importance of balance.
'There is a balance that you need to find' - Rohit Sharma
"Balance to stay desperate and stay hungry for, scoring runs, lifting the trophy, winning games, whatever that is. But there is a balance that you need to find. You cannot get way too ahead of yourself because that can lead to something that you don't really wish for. The seniors in this team have played a lot of cricket to know how to soak in the pressure," added Rohit.
Rohit concluded by saying that luck is necessary in winning a tournament like the ODI World Cup. "And then obviously we have to leave a lot of things to the Almighty as well because we need that luck, a little bit of luck in the tournament. I hope we get that luck. But yeah, it will be nice to win a World Cup," concluded the Indian captain.
