Rohit Sharma gave himself permission to smile and stare sharply, clearly annoyed and unwilling to answer the queries. The inquiry concerned shipping four spinners to the Caribbean. Taking a big breath, Sharma stated, “I don’t want to go into details on this,” in an aggressive manner. Without a doubt, I desired four spinners. This involves certain technical elements. I won’t tell you right now.
Rohit had a strong belief in the quartet, and as the tournament has gone on, that belief has been magnificently confirmed. The spin three of India flapped and extended their wings in the later games of the Super Eight and the semifinal match against England, whereas the pace trio had taken most of the spoils in the group stages. Kuldeep Yadav was saved until the Super Eight, and his sly wit makes him just as dangerous a possibility as Jasprit Bumrah. Sharma knew precisely when to unleash them.
Regardless of how the fielders from South Africa perform in the final at Kensington Oval in Barbados, he intimidates them. And Sharma knew just when to put him to work.
