Rohit Sharma says it was an easy decision for me

Rohit admits that he has some way to travel and understands that playing back-to-back matches in limited-overs format can be a toll on him.

“Of course, there is still some work that needs to be done on my hamstring. So I did not go to Australia for the white-ball leg because there are back-to-back games. About 6 games in 11 days… So I thought that if I get to work on my body for 25 days, I can probably go to play a test match.

“I don’t know what was going on, to be honest, and what everybody was talking about. But I kept it on record, I was constantly communicating with the BCCI and Mumbai Indians,” said the 33-year-old Said. Rohit played the first few matches in IPL 2020 before Rohit got injured.

He made his comeback in the last league game of the Mumbai Indians and also scored a match-winning half-century in the final against the Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.

He said, ‘I told him (Mumbai Indians) that I can get on the field because it is the shortest format and I will be able to fully manage this situation. Once I cleared my mind, it was about focusing on whatever I needed to do, ”he said.
