There is a lot of thought behind it. Son is supported. Boys are given a chance. People outside do not Rohit said.

“If you talk about form, it goes up and down for everyone. We get that quality back. It happened to me, it happened to XYZ, it happened to everyone, it’s nothing new. When some players have done so well and consistently for a long time, it can’t be wiped out in a series or two or a year or two. It takes time for people to understand. it absolutely, but the people who are running the team know the importance of that quality,” he added.

Otherwise, you know, it’s not going to happen to you. The players, all the beaters, are part of this squad, ready to take that extra risk and go and see what more they can do with the bat.”

“It’s important that you educate yourself to try and do different things. Unless you try it, you’ll never be able to find out. So I think that’s what we did and did. trying to do while now.. Some days it may show up, some days it may not. But we don’t want to be afraid to go in and take that extra risk. That’s how we’re going to learn. asked as a team, and that’s how we’re going to move forward as a team, so that’s in everyone’s thought process, everybody’s pretty comfortable with that idea.

When you try to play freedom, it comes with setbacks both in terms of individual achievement and team results, but you’ll learn a lot from that.”

All these matches are very important for us. us because somewhere we needed to change something and we could see things have started to change a little bit.The biggest takeaway from this series is that each individual’s approach has play in this series for us. How they came and enjoyed the moment in between, taking the opportunity, confronting the opposition, taking the extra risk. Thinking is what we’re doing. trying to change and they’re willing to do it. They’re willing to take that risk.
