Team India skipper Rohit Sharma will be leading the team for the first time in the World Cup, he is the only second player to part of all edition of T20 World Cup so far.
He played his maiden T20I World Cup as 20 year old in 2007 and now after 15 years he will be leading his team.
“Feeling good about it [reaching Australia early]. Wanted to try out things, we don’t mind batting first, and setting up a target. Nice fresh pitch. We came here pretty early, we were in Perth having a preparatory camp. We are almost there. These [warm-up] games will allow us to get where we want. It’s obviously getting to the business end, and we want to try a few things,” he said.
“In my mind, I know what bowlers are going to play. It is important to give them that confidence, few of the guys have come for the first time in Australia. It is a nice place to play cricket. [Captaining the side] It is a privilege. It is the first time in 15 years that I am captaining my country at a WC. We want to enjoy and have fun,” he added.
