Here's What Suryakumar Yadav Revealed About Rohit Sharma During His Latest Interview

As reported by The Indian Express, Suryakumar Yadav revealed that the Indian skipper was extremely clear with his words and expectations he had from the side, as he demanded the whole team's contribution.

"He told us to keep it simple but said, ‘I can’t climb this mountain alone. If I have to reach the peak, I will need everyone’s oxygen’. Before the start, we decided that we won’t talk about what lies ahead in the tournament. Nobody thought about Super 8 and the same was true for the finals in Barbados. Our mind has to be where our feet are. That was our motto," said Surya.

"When a crunch situation comes, players know that he will back us. One feels I have to deliver for this man for the confidence and respect he gives to everyone. Many people have been sending me a photo of that catch, some have a ball picture, some have morphed the ball with the trophy. I will carry this with me for two years and will replicate it in the next World Cup. It was my fourth ICC event, and my first win. I will remember this for a long time. First is always special," he added.
