With India set to play against defending champions England in Lucknow on October 29, Rohit shared his thoughts on leading the hosts\u2019 in the global event and how he is managing everyone in the team, stressing on knowing the individual first.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI think when it comes to managing players, it\u2019s quite important that you understand the individual first and their requirement, what are the likes and dislikes of that particular individual because you know in a team sport it\u2019s just not about one or two individuals or few individuals, it\u2019s about everyone.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWe do understand as well that when you want to win championships, big tournaments, everyone need to come to the party and play their part. So, it\u2019s important that you keep everyone in good mental space. So, it\u2019s very important to hear everyone out, understand what they want, how they want to operate and things like that and then you take everything into consideration and move forward and that is something that I always do,\u201d he said to Star Sports.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In the first power-play of 2023 Men\u2019s ODI World Cup, Rohit has made 197 runs, with a strike-rate of 134, smashing 22 fours and 12 sixes, becoming an all-out attacker for India in the first ten overs of their innings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Rohit revealed that he practices empathy to get a sense of how to manage the team and its individuals, a practice which he says hasn\u2019t come to him naturally. \u201cI try and put myself in their shoes and think about what this individual will be needing now. So, it\u2019s important to think like that and you know luckily, I have got good bunch of guys around me; the players, the support staffs are quite understanding in terms of the requirement of the team, the players and everyone.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cSo, yeah that is something that I wouldn\u2019t say comes naturally to me, I've learned it over the years, gone through my personal experiences and understood what is needed for a team to be successful. I think what is needed to be successful is to understand everyone's need, their requirement and give them that space and freedom to go and execute their job and their roles.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cBecause it can be quite daunting at times because when you are playing such a high -profile tournament, the pressure can get to you at times. So, it's important to just stay together as a team, understand what each one needs to be in that good zone where they can come out and play free cricket and not worry about what is happening outside,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\r\n\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2023\/10\/mens-odi-wc-try-to-put-myself-in-their-shoes-and-think-about-what-this-individual-will-be-needing-now-says-rohit-sharma.JPG", "alt_img": "Men\u2019s ODI WC: Try to put myself in their shoes and think about what this individual will be needing ", "alt_title": "Ahmedabad : ICC Cricket World Cup Match Between India And Pakistan", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "Men\u2019s ODI WC: Try To Put Myself In Their Shoes And Think About What This Individual Will Be Needing Now, Says Rohit Sharma On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "Men\u2019s ODI WC: Try To Put Myself In Their Shoes And Think About What This Individual Will Be Needing Now, Says Rohit Sharma, ODI World Cup: It has been a stellar 2023 Men\u2019s ODI World Cup for India captain and opener Rohit Sharma..", "seo_keywords": "Rohit Sharma, New Delhi, ODI World Cup, With India, Star Sports", "tag": "", "tagging": "Rohit Sharma, New Delhi, ODI World Cup, With India, Star Sports", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "mens-odi-wc-try-to-put-myself-in-their-shoes-and-think-about-what-this-individual-will-be-needing-now-says-rohit-sharma", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "774", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "1", "created": "2023-10-26 12:48:03", "updated": "2023-10-26 12:48:03", "img_from": "Image Source: IANS", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "Rohit Sharma, New Delhi, ODI World Cup, With India, Star Sports", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "1", "google_feed": "1", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "23", "jio_date": "2023-10-26 12:48:03", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "1", "breaking_news": "1", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "pred_match_id": null, "article_content_type": null, "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/mens-odi-wc-try-to-put-myself-in-their-shoes-and-think-about-what-this-individual-will-be-needing-now-says-rohit-sharma-131161" }
