Skipper Rohit Sharma careworn on the Indian workforce`s capacity to win video games on any floor together with rank turners, following its file 434-run win over England within the IND vs ENG third Test on a flat monitor on Sunday.
India set a goal of 557 runs for England on a placid pitch with greater than 4 periods left within the IND vs ENG third Test. However, the guests folded inside 40 overs for 122 to provide India a 2-1 lead within the sequence.
“We have won a lot of matches on such wickets before. The turning tracks and on pitches where the ball turns remain our strength. It gives us balance,” Rohit instructed the media.
“We have given results for many years and we will get results in the future as well. But we don`t have control over certain things, we don`t discuss whether we want rank turners or not. We come here (at the venues) two days before the match and how much can we do anyway in two days? The curators decide and make the pitch. We have the strength to play on any wicket and win on it. When we won the Test in South Africa (at Cape Town), everyone knows what kind of wicket it was,” he mentioned.
Rohit mentioned the Indian workforce has discovered a approach by way of all situations witnessed within the first three Tests.
“(In) the last three Tests we played, there were different challenges. In the first Test (Hyderabad), the ball was spinning and the pitch was slow. In Vizag, it was (keeping) low. As the game progressed, the wicket became slower. Here, it played well for the first three days. Today, we saw that the ball was turning and it was low. This is (in) the nature (of pitches), we get pitches like these in India. But if we get rank turners, we will play on them as well,” Rohit added.
Rohit mentioned Ravindra Jadeja, who scored a century (112) within the first innings and bowled a match-winning spell of 5/41, thrived in situations that he understood nicely.
“We`ve seen him over the years, he understands the conditions really well. He knows exactly what his game is,” Rohit mentioned.
“Here, he is no different. This is his hometown so more than anyone else, he knows these conditions better. If you see the past couple of years, he`s actually come out and scored some crucial runs for us. Whether it`s in India or outside India as well. He`s batting really well and the confidence is there with the bat, which is why we thought of sending him up the order as well (in the first innings),” Rohit added.

The India skipper mentioned Sarfaraz Khan has acquired sufficient expertise in home cricket that the workforce administration didn’t really feel the necessity to have mentioned any plans with him earlier than he made his debut right here.
“I haven`t seen Sarfaraz bat that much. But all the people I`ve heard from, the players who are from Mumbai, (that) he`s made runs in a lot of difficult situations for Mumbai,” Rohit mentioned.
“He`s hungry for runs and for the last 4-5 years, he`s continuously made runs in domestic cricket, so (that means) he`s doing something good,” Rohit mentioned.
“We didn`t discuss any plans with him. Because I know that if you let him be, he`ll do his your job, which I`ve heard from the players from Mumbai,” he added.
