what did rohit say

Rohit said before the fourth and final Test match that to be honest, when you win two matches, people outside feel that we are overconfident. It's complete nonsense because you want to give your best in all the four matches. You don't want to stop after winning two matches. It's as simple as that. Obviously all these guys when they talk about overconfidence and especially when they are not part of the dressing room, they don't know what kind of discussions took place in the dressing room.

They know how we play - Rohit

Rohit's reply was to a man who till recently was the chief strategist of the team. The Indian captain said, "We want to give the best performance in all the matches and if it looks like overconfidence or anything like that to an outsider, it doesn't really matter to us." Rohit said, "Ravi himself. He has been a part of this dressing room and he knows the kind of mindset we have when we play. It is not about being overconfident but being ruthless. Ruthless is the word that comes to every cricketer's mind and is associated with not giving even the slightest chance to the opposition when they are on a foreign tour. We also feel the same when we visit abroad.

Fourth Test is important for Team India

The fourth Test match to be played between India and Australia is very important for Team India. India will have to win this match to get the final direct entry of WTC. Otherwise, they will have to wait for the result of the series between New Zealand and Sri Lanka. The Australian team has qualified for the WTC final. In such a situation, either India or Sri Lanka can go to the final.
