Rohit Sharma is a part of the Indian team which is currently playing against Australia. He was also the captain in the ODI and T20I series in the recently concluded series against New Zealand.
After leading India to victory in the ODI, Sharma said, “Coming here and beating New Zealand 4-1 is a massive achievement. They play very good cricket, so it is a great take away for us.”
“Last time we were thrashed 4-0. We didn’t have a point to prove but we just wanted to play good cricket, which we have been doing for the past 8-10 months now,” he added.
