IND vs NZ semifinal | We are open to the challenges of batting first or chasing: Rohit

The Hindu  

Tuesday was all about relaxed skippers and expansive answers. He even said ‘fortune favours the brave’ and smiled on the eve of Wednesday’s World Cup semifinal involving India and New Zealand. Keeping the team relaxed has been the Indian captain’s approach through this World Cup and he explained: “In India, pressure is always there, people will say win the match, score a 100, get a five-for. So when you get a break, keep cricket away.” “After the Dharamshala game against New Zealand, we stayed there for a few days and we even had a fashion show which you guys never knew, and obviously I can’t tell who won. As for me, my family is with me and once I get back to the hotel, it helps me to think beyond cricket.” Asked about New Zealand, the captain said: “They are a good side and have made most knockouts since 2015.
