New Delhi, May 14: <\/strong> India cricketer Rohit Sharma has revealed he doesn't believe in setting long-term goals as they add more pressure and stress on him. On the contrary, he likes to focus on short-term goals which includes planning and preparing for games in the next two-three months.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Currently the Indian cricketers are enjoying time with their families amid the forced break due to the global coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"Over the years, I've realised that long-term goals won't help you in anyway, on the contrary it will add to your pressure and stress. I have always focused on short term goals which are mainly the next few games in the upcoming 2-3 months – who is it against, what can I do best," Rohit said while speaking on Star Sports Cricket Connected show.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"Setting goals for each series or tournament helps me a lot and I will continue to follow this method in the future," he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

In normal circumstances, cricketers would have been currently busy with the Indian Premier League 2020. However, because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the cash-rich league stands indefinitely postponed.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"In the upcoming years, I hope we get the opportunity to play cricket, as we don't know when we will play again," said the 32-year-old.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

With situation refusing to get better globally, there are doubts even on the T20 World Cup slated to be played in October-November in Australia and the much-anticipated India tour of Australia.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"When we resume playing cricket, we will have to see what's coming our way - whether its T20 World Cup or IPL," said Rohit.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"We even had a big bilateral series against Australia planned – we will have to analyse and see who we are playing against," he added.<\/p>\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Rohit-Sharma-T20I3.jpg", "alt_img": "Rohit Sharma", "alt_title": "Rohit Sharma", "image1": "", "video": "", "seo_title": "I don't set long-term goals but focus on each series, says Rohit Sharma On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "New Delhi, May 14:\u00a0\u00a0India cricketer Rohit Sharma has revealed he doesn't believe in setting long-term goals as they add more pressure and stress on him.
