My dream was to transform this team and not worry about stats: Rohit Sharma

Recently, Rohit said that it was his aim to create an environment where his players can play freely without worrying about personal records and milestones.

Since last year, the Indian batters have been playing an attacking brand of cricket, with the skipper himself leading from the front with an aggressive modus operandi.

“It was my dream to transform this team and not worry too much about the stats, the results, to make sure that we create that environment where people can go out there and play freely without thinking too much,” Rohit Sharma said during the CEAT Cricket Awards on Wednesday in Mumbai.
