"We thought a lot about the team we ultimately selected for the World Cup" - Rohit Sharma

Speaking to Jio Cinema Match Centre Live after the conclusion of the MI vs LSG clash, Rohit Sharma opened up about the selection of the Indian squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup. He revealed that the selectors and team management had an idea of the players they wanted to onboard for the tournament before the commencement of IPL 2024.

Rohit said:

"We thought a lot about the team we ultimately selected for the World Cup. The spinners, seamers, batters, and keepers, we knew before the IPL who we would take to the World Cup. The IPL performances for everyone can be up and down, so we didn't focus too much on that. We needed to see the performances of certain players, but it was important for us to give everyone the clarity they needed."

He continued:

"Everyone going into the IPL needed clarity of whether they would participate in the team and what their role would be so they could practice and play accordingly. All of these indicators we had shared with 70% of the team before the IPL."
