India captain Rohit Sharma didn't want to reveal his plans in cricket and wanted to take one series at a time. He was addressing a press conference for the first time after India's debacle in the World Cup final.
Ahead of the Boxing Day Test against South Africa, reporters questioned Rohit about his plan for the T20 World Cup but the Indian skipper sidestepped the question by saying, "I want to play whatever cricket is there in front of me."
He even went on to say, "I know what you want to ask." His statement broke laughter among the journalists present at the press conference.
Rohit want achieve what no other Indian captain did
However, Rohit said that he wants his team to "achieve" what others Indian sides in the past have failed to do in the Rainbow Nation.
India have never won a Test series in South Africa since 1992.
"Want to achieve what nobody has achieved in this part of the world," Rohit said during the pre-match press conference.
