‘Doesn’t really matter’- Rohit Sharma’s reply as Ravi Shastri fumbles at toss

On February 23, India will play Pakistan in Champions Trophy 2025 Match 5 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Former Indian cricketer Ravi Shastri made a mistake during the toss. After winning the toss, Mohammad Riwan chose to bat first. However, after talking to Rizwa, Shastri turned to Rohit Sharma and asked him what he had decided.

Due to an injury to opener Fakhar Zaman, Rizwan announced one alteration to the starting lineup. Imam Ul Haq, who was not on the original team, took his spot. Following their chat, Shastri questioned Rohit about his choice. The India captain responded that it “doesn’t really matter” after handling the veteran’s gaffe.

Shastri: “What have you decided?”
Rohit: “Doesn’t really matter, they won the toss so we’ll bowl first.”

For us, the previous game wasn’t easy: Rohit Sharma

Rohit Sharma has been losing the toss for a while now. However, according to India’s opener, the pitch appears to be the same as it was in their last match against Bangladesh. He stated that Bangladesh, who fought hard, was beneficial to the team early in the competition. However, because of an injury he suffered in the previous game, Pakistan was unable to use Fakhar Zaman.

“The surface appears to be slower than in the last game. We know what to do if the pitches slow down since we have a batting unit with expertise. The squad must give a complete performance, both with the bat and the ball. We had a difficult game last time, which is always good. You wish to challenge yourself and be under pressure. “We’re playing the same team,” Rohit remarked.

“I’ll bat first; the surface appears to be good. want to set a nice goal. Every game matters in ICC events, thus we’ll continue as usual. The boys are accustomed to these circumstances, we have performed well here, and we aim to give it our all today. We lost our most recent game, but that is now in the past. One thing has changed: Imam has replaced Fakhar,” Rizwan disclosed.
