After his team’s 3-0 victory over Sri Lanka in the T20I series, India skipper Rohit Sharma told the youngsters not to worry about their positions in the side because of odd failures.
It was Team India’s three back-to-back T20I series wins under Rohit after he took charge of the side post T20 World Cup 2021.
"We do understand at times that we've held back but it's important to tell the guys that you don't have to worry about your positions in the team. We want to fill whatever gaps we do have. We just want to move forward," Rohit said at the presentation ceremony after India beat Sri Lanka by six wickets in the third T20I to sweep the series.
"It's going to be a big challenge but it's nice to have guys in form rather than not in form. It's a factor of everything that comes together. We played together and we played very well. A lot of positives from this series," he added.
The captain was happy to give playing time to almost all the players during the nine white-ball matches this month against West Indies and Sri Lanka.
"That is something we've kept in mind - good to give opportunities to few of those guys. If the guys take the opportunity the way some of these guys have taken, you can move from strength to strength," Rohit said.
Since the T20 World Cup is slated to be held in Australia later this year, it is important for the Indian team to kept ticking boxes with every series.
From next month, the Indian players will be busy playing the IPL 2022 till May 29. India’s next T20I assignment is a five-match series against South Africa at home from June 9 to June 19.
