‘We understand the opposition, need to approach the game like last three games’ said Rohit
Rohit Sharma hinted that the team could play four spinners against Australia in the semifinals, as it did against New Zealand on Sunday (March 2, 2025). Varun Chakaravarthy replaced Harshit Rana for the game and made a case for including him in the knockout fixture as well by scalping his maiden five-wicket haul (in ODIs).
“We really need to think, even if we want to play four spinners, how we can squeeze four spinners,” said Rohit after his side’s 44-run win over the Kiwis. “Whatever works for us in terms of the bowling options, we will try and do that. But it is tempting.”
