"They have got solid bowlers who have come through the ranks now"- Rohit Sharma on Pakistan team ahead of 2024 T20 World Cup

In a recent conversation with Dubai Eye 103.8 FM, Rohit Sharma opened up about the opportunity to face Pakistan in the upcoming 2024 T20 World Cup. The Indian captain claimed that he likes challenges and would like to play against a quality team like Pakistan because they have a decent bowling unit. Sharma said:

"At the end of the day, I want to play cricket and I want to feel challenged in cricket. I feel Pakistan has a good team. They have got solid bowlers who have come through the ranks now. India-Pakistan always brings out something and more than the team, people outside will love watch us play."

On the pressures and expectations on cricketers in India, Rohit added:

"When you sign up as a cricketer in India, you should know what you're dealing with. When you come good, they will make you look like Gods, but obviously, when things don't go your way, they can tear you apart as well."
