As the Men in Blue square off against Australia in an ODI World Cup final at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday, Suresh Raina — one of the key members of India’s World Cup-winning team of 2011 — believes that it will be a battle between an aggressive Indian captain Rohit Sharma and an aggressive Australian team.
“Our team looks very strong under Rohit’s leadership. It has all bases covered. But then, Australia is an aggressive team. So, it will eventually come down to a battle between an aggressive team and an aggressive captain,” Raina told Sportstar.
Having seen Rohit evolve as a cricketer, Raina believes that it is important to keep calm. “Rohit loves playing against Australia, and even has a double century against them. Rohit recently told the media that whatever be the situation, the team has to be calm, and that’s certainly the key. If you remain calm in high-pressure matches, results will follow,” Raina said.
