Rohit Sharma talks about his World Cup in 2007

Talking about his mindset then, India captain said that he didn’t even know how big a thing it is to participate in the tournament. 

“When I was picked for that World Cup I did not go with any expectations about myself, he said. 

Adding to this, Rohit said that he just wanted to enjoy his time in the team. “I just wanted to enjoy the tournament and play the tournament as it was my first ever World Cup. I had no understanding of what it was like to be part of a World Cup and how big it was going to be until we actually won the World Cup,” he added.

35-years-old Rohit talked about the change of game in the format and how much players have evolved over the time as well as the game it self. 

“It has been a long journey and the game has evolved so much. You can literally see how it is played now compared to what it was like in 2007. 140 or 150 was a good score back then and now people try and get that score in 14 or 15 overs,” Rohit conduced. 

Team India will start their World Cup campaign on October 23 against Pakistan and will try to heal their wounds of the last season.
