Rohit Puts To Rest Shadow Of Past: 'Yes, We Have Not Won; It Is Fine... It Happens'

A decade later, captain Rohit Sharma says he wouldn't allow the decadelong futile Cup chase to pull down his team during the 50over cricket carnival that starts on Thursday, when defending champions England take on New Zealand in Ahmedabad.

"Yes, we have not won; it's fine! I'm not a person who overthinks and puts myself in a tough place where I'm not able to make a decision. England started winning now; in 2019 they won the World Cup after so many years. It happens. Australia is the only consistent team who have won. After 2007, they won the ODI World Cup in 2015. They won the T20 World Cup in Dubai," Sharma told The Indian Express.

So who will win the Cup? "I don't have an answer for it. How can I say that now? All I can hope is that the team is in a good space. Everybody is fit and fine. That's all I can hope for. I cannot say beyond this. Space is such an important factor and it's a very key thing now," he said.

Sharma also stressed he would be glad if the expectations from the fans aren't too high."What people are expecting we can't control. In India wherever we go, be it airports or hotels, they say, 'World Cup jeetna hai sir' (You have to win the World Cup). It happens everywhere. It will never stop," he said with a smile.
