In a recent press conference held by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to discuss the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup 2024, Rohit Sharma, the Indian cricket team’s captain, delivered a humorous yet cryptic response when questioned about the bowling combination.
When asked about who would partner star pacer Jasprit Bumrah in opening the bowling attack, Sharma quipped, “Abhi main bolke kya karunga? (What’s the use of saying it now?)”. He further added, “Paanch taarikh ko match hai, abhi main bolke kya karunga? We’ll see. We’ll see. Combination kyun jaanna hai aapko (The match is on the fifth, what can I say now? We’ll see. Why do you want to know the combination?)”
Sharma’s witty retort left the audience amused and intrigued, as it hinted at a strategic approach by Team India without revealing any specifics. With the T20 World Cup looming, Sharma’s enigmatic response adds to the anticipation surrounding the team’s bowling strategy and lineup for the highly-anticipated tournament.
