Captain Rohit Sharma said that spin will be a key factor in the prestigious competition before India’s maiden match in the T20 World Cup 2024. On June 5, the Men in Blue will play against Ireland at Nassau County Cricket Stadium, which has a notably slower surface. Speaking on the subject, Rohit exuded assurance and made it clear that they have a capable team that can adjust to any situation.
The 37-year-old also left room for Axar Patel and Ravindra Jadeja. Although Rohit claims that both offer a similar variance, they can also give the squad the proper balance. As the competition goes on, he thinks pace-bowling all-rounders like Shivam Dube and Hardik Pandya can be useful.
“There will be a significant role for the spinners. Axar and Jadeja are our all-around spinners. They are necessary to ensure that the squad is well-balanced. We have Shivam and Hardik as fast bowling all-rounders. As the competition goes on, we’ll consider how to employ them. remarked Rohit during the news conference held before the game.

According to Rohit, Ireland has a strong team and can present a serious challenge to them throughout the game. The 37-year-old stated that a number of Irish players compete in international T20 leagues and may be at an advantage over them. In order to finish on the right side, he continued, Team India will need to perform at their peak.
They have a fantastic squad, so the game will be exciting. They have a lot of T20 cricket matches, and many of their players participate in competitions all around the world. We’ll compete against other opponents, so it will be fiercely competitive. Our performance must be optimal. That is cricket in the Twenty20 format. We run the risk of not coming out on the correct side if we lose our focus, he continued.
