In the current ICC cricket World Cup, team India is leading the standings after defeating New Zealand by a commanding 4-wicket margin. They have now won five out of the previous six games.
The offensive Indian captain, Rohit Sharma, gave a speech ahead of India’s big matchup against the reigning champions, England, about how he strives to carry out his duties as a leader and a captain.
“I think when it comes to managing players, it’s quite important that you understand the individual first and their requirement, what are the likes and dislikes of that particular individual because you know in a team sport it’s just not about one or two individuals or few individuals, it’s about everyone,” India captain and opener Rohit Sharma said in an exclusive interview with Star Sports‘ “Follow the Blues.”
We are aware that winning championships and major competitions requires participation from all members of the team. Thus, it’s critical that you maintain everyone’s mental clarity. As a result, it’s critical to listen to everyone, comprehend their goals, methods of operation, and other desires. I always do this before taking everything into account and moving on.
I make an effort to imagine myself in their position and consider what this person will require right now. It is crucial to have that kind of mindset, and fortunately, Rohit Sharma surrounded by a great group of people: the players and the support staff are all extremely understanding of the needs of the team, the players, and each other. That is not something that I would say comes naturally to me, though; I have learnt it over the years from my own experiences and have grown to understand what makes a team successful.
Rohit Sharma believe that understanding everyone’s needs and requirements and allowing them the room and flexibility to carry out their responsibilities are essential for success. Because the pressure of competing in such a well-known competition may sometimes get to you, it can be extremely intimidating. Thus, it’s critical to stick together as a team and recognize what each person needs in order to be in a good zone where they can play unrestricted cricket without worrying about the outside world.
