Former India captain Rohit Sharma has cautioned his team ahead of the much-anticipated Pakistan vs India encounter, saying there is no such thing as a “favorite” in T20 cricket, especially in high-pressure ICC tournaments.
Speaking at a recent event, Rohit Sharma responded to a question about India being labeled as favorites to win the tournament. He made it clear that he has never believed in the concept of a favorite team in T20 cricket.
“First of all, I have never believed that any team is a favorite in a tournament,” Rohit said. “This is a funny game, and in the last 10 years of international cricket, we have seen so many unexpected results.”
T20 Cricket Demands Performance, Not Reputation
The Indian batting star emphasized that modern T20 cricket is highly competitive. Every team now has extensive experience in the shortest format, making it impossible to assume easy victories.
According to Rohit, teams cannot simply walk onto the ground expecting a “two-point win.” Instead, they must perform consistently throughout the match to secure those crucial points.
“You cannot just step onto the ground thinking it’s an easy two points. You have to play good cricket during the match; otherwise, you could return home empty-handed,” he warned.
Focus on Current Form, Not Past Records
Rohit Sharma also advised players to forget past achievements and focus on present form and match-day performance. He highlighted that in global tournaments like the ICC T20 World Cup, every team has the ability to defeat any opponent on a given day.
The highly anticipated Pakistan vs India match is scheduled to take place in Colombo on Sunday. The Indian cricket team is set to depart from Delhi for Colombo tonight.
With millions of fans eagerly awaiting this blockbuster showdown, cricket analysts believe the outcome will depend heavily on current form, team balance, and handling of pressure rather than pre-match predictions.
