For the first time, Rohit broke the silence over the controversy his injury

New Delhi: Rohit Sharma's injury has been the talk of the town for some time now. So far, however, the star opener of the Indian cricket team has not spoken much about his injury. Rohit is also confused about the discussions that took place over his injury. Speaking for the first time about his injury, he said he knew his injury was not too serious and he would be ready to play a Test series in Australia.

I don't know why there was so much discussion about injury

"Honestly, I don't know what was going on and what people were talking about," said Rohit Sharma. But I want to make it clear that I was constantly in touch with the BCCI and the Mumbai Indians. Despite the injury, Rohit Sharma played an innings of 68 off 50 balls against the Delhi Capitals in the IPL 2020 final. With the help of which Mumbai was able to win the fifth title.

My injury has healed now

"I told the Mumbai Indians that since this is a T20, they can field and handle the situation quickly," he said. Once I made up my mind I just needed to focus on what I had to do. The hamstring injury has healed fairly well. I have to play in the long format so I don't want to leave any stone unturned and that is why I am practicing at the National Cricket Academy.

I don't care what people say

There was a lot of discussion and debate over Rohit Sharma's injury. But the Indian opener said, "For me, I don't care what people say." For two days after I was injured I kept thinking about what I could do for the next 10 days, whether I could play or not. But the hamstring injury kept changing every day. So I got a little bit confident that I could play and that's what I said to the Mumbai Indians then. I told him I would recover before the playoffs. I will not play in the playoffs if I have pain.

Relations with the Mumbai Indians have not strengthened overnight

Rohit Sharma spoke about his strong ties with the IPL's Mumbai Indians. That relationship has not strengthened overnight, he said. We have Kieron Pollard, Hardik Pandya and Jaspreet Bumrah for sure but one wonders why this team is successful? But I have heard a lot of people say that Rohit Sharma can win so many trophies with other teams? First of all I want to say why do I need to do this with other teams? This franchise wants to move in a certain direction and I also want to move in the same direction as a captain and a player. Has this team become the best overnight? No, this team does not want to change much. All the players, including Rohit Sharma, were available in the 2011 auction. Mumbai have also selected players and formed a team.
