Rohit says tall Aussie bowlers have advantage over India
and Australia is one place where we want to leave our mark and do well as a unit,” Rohit said at The Gabba.
“Last time we played a Test series here, although we lost two games and drew one, but I thought we played few close games, especially at Brisbane. “We want to make it count this time around, there is a real good feeling inside the group. The motive is to seize all the moments and win.”
Stressing on the significance of putting up a good performance in Australia ahead of the 2019 World Cup, Rohit said: “When you do well in Australia, you feel good as a team and thinking about the World Cup ahead, it can only give you confidence winning in places like Australia.” Rohit said everybody in the team needs to step up against a formidable side like Australia.
“Australia in Australia will always be dangerous without a doubt. In places like Australia you want the whole unit to come together, that is our focus,” he said. “We don’t want few individuals to step up, we want whole lot of guys to put their hands up and take up the challenge. So, we want everybody to step up and make it count.
“We have some quality bowlers, in particular, spinners, so we will try to challenge them with our spinners. They still have a quality batting line- up, so let’s see how we go.” Rohit said the idea behind landing up early here was to adapt to the conditions as much as possible.
