“It’s tough but that’s why I would like to highlight the experience we have,” Rohit said when asked about the conditions during the pre-match press conference on Saturday.
“The blows count for nothing. When you play in places like South Africa and Australia, we have to overcome the challenges. The Gabba Test is one big example. We thrive in these difficult moments. It’s the World Cup, so nothing can get bigger than this,” added the skipper.
The matches in New York have seen low scores, including in India’s first match against Ireland when the latter was bowled out for a sub-100 total. The ICC had to issue a statement acknowledging the inconsistent nature of the tracks.
“New York is not our home ground. We have played two matches here but we don’t have much awareness about its nature. It behaves differently on different days, so even the curator is confused,” Rohit said on the eve of the game against Pakistan.
