We need to find answers, still working towards that: Rohit Sharma

The Hindu  

Despite two identical series wins against "quality sides" Australia and South Africa, captain Rohit Sharma on Tuesday conceded that the Indian team still needs to address some areas of concern, especially bowling, ahead of the upcoming T20 World Cup. On the absence of pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah from the T20 World Cup due to back injury, Rohit said, "Bumrah is a big miss, but there are a few guys in the reckoning. Suryakumar Yadav, who was named Player of the Series for his 119 runs, including two half-centuries, from three matches, said, "Haven't thought about Australia just yet but it's a challenge am really looking forward to." When asked if he knew he hit 50 sixes this calendar year, he said, "I'm not a stats man, but my friends keep sending me stuff on WhatsApp."
