Cricket World Cup 2023 | India vs Pakistan LIVE | Rohit over 1 lakh fans at Stadium

Question; Over 100,000 cheering must be the biggest number for a team. How will it be? Is it a kind of a big boost? And what have you told the boys how to go about it?
 
[Rohit Sharma:] "No, look, all the guys are quite used to playing in front of big crowds. So, like I just said, now it can only work in your favour. It cannot work against you. A lot of the guys in the team love a big crowd, the cheer, the noise in the ground. So yeah, the boys really enjoy it. Like I said, anywhere we go, people turn out in huge numbers. And that is good for the team and also good for the sport in general as well."

Cricket World Cup 2023 | India vs Pakistan LIVE | Why India need Gill in Playing 11?

The inclusion of 24-year-old Gill could boost India's chances against Pakistan as Gill has been in superb form this year, accumulating 1025 runs in 17 matches. Overall, he has scored 1917 runs at an average of 66.10 in 35 matches, including six hundreds and nine fifties. 
 
If he makes his way into India's Playing 11 vs Pakistan on October 14, Gill will return to Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, which holds a special place in his career.

Cricket World Cup 2023 | India vs Pakistan LIVE | Rohit's mindset ahead of today's match

Rohit answers quite a few questions on the eve of India vs Pakistan. 

Question: This is like the biggest rivalry in sports, India versus Pakistan. You're playing in Narendra Modi Stadium and you're playing to a predominantly Indian cricket fan base. At what point does home advantage actually become a disadvantage?

Answer: "
I don't think there is any disadvantage. You feel nice about playing in front of your home crowd. They get behind you no matter what the situation of the game is. My overall experience playing, not just in India, even outside India, we get massive support."

"So, I have so far never experienced where the crowd has gone against us or anything like that. So, I look at this as a good advantage, big advantage. But we know that eventually it boils down to playing good cricket. And whatever it takes to win the game, you've got to do that. So yes, you can use the support, but eventually, you've got to play good cricket to win the game."
