Mumbai Indians captain and India opener Rohit Sharma feels that he is lucky to be doing what he loves to do especially in these hard times.
“A lot of people are going through hard times, a lot of people are not able to work, not able to do what they like to. At least we are lucky that we are getting to do what we like,” Rohit said in a video, which was posted by his franchise on Twitter.
The players have to follow certain protocols as precautionary measures as they travel from one place to another. The MI skipper admitted that it is difficult to stay in bio-bubbles but said that making few adjustments isn’t a problem if the players are getting to do what they love.
“If we have to adjust, we have to adjust. And try and see how you can get the best out of, you know, this bubble life as well,” Sharma said.
Post the resumption of cricket after the forced Covid-19 break, India have been dominant especially in the longer format for quite some time. They first defeated Australia 2-1 in a four-match series in away fixtures and then thumped England in as many matches by 3-1 at home to march into the WTC final.
The Indian team faced some struggle after a number of senior players were injured during the Australia tour and had to return back home.
But the youngsters took on the onus on themselves and anchored the side to victory. Hailing the efforts from the youngsters, Sharma said that it was pleasing to see that the youngsters took on the responsibility.
“… The whole world has seen what we did there in Australia. The performance we put in as a team was so pleasing to see, especially by the younger players who have just come in to the squad. Taking up the responsibility, rising to the occasion, which was so great to see,” he said.
The right-handed batsman will now lead MI in the IPL 2021 which is slated to begin in Chennai on Friday. The defending champions MI will be up against Virat Kohli’s RCB in the opening encounter.
