India captain Rohit Sharma reckoned that the T20 World Cup 2024 will be hectic but the team is used to all of this. Men in Blue have qualified for the Super 8 of the ongoing tournament after winning three consecutive matches.
Rohit & Co. will start their Super 8 campaign against Afghanistan on June 20, followed by games against Bangladesh (June 22, Antigua) and Australia (June 24, St Lucia). Team India are currently in Barbados and preparing for their upcoming clashes.
"Once we play our first game, we are going to play the next two in a span of 3 or 4 days," Rohit said in a video uploaded by the BCCI.
"It is going to be a little hectic but we are used to all of this. We travel and play a lot so that is never going to be an excuse," the 37-year-old added.
The Indian team had an extended practice session on Monday with senior players like Virat Kohli and Rohit spending more time in the nets than usual.

"There is real keenness in the group to go and do something special. That's a good way to start the second stage. It clearly shows that everyone wants to make a difference and we take our skill sessions quite seriously," he said.
"There is something to achieve in every skill session that you do," Rohit said on the mood inside the dressing room after an undefeated run in the group league stage.
Indian batters were seen struggling in the US league due to drop-in pitches used by the organisers.
"We have seen a lot of games here, we have played a lot of games here. So everyone understands what one needs to do to get the result in our favour. Everyone is looking forward and are quite excited as well at the same time," Rohit said.
Team India have not won any ICC title since the 2013 Champions Trophy under MS Dhoni. However, the Men in Blue were featured in the final of both World Championships and ended their journey in the ODI World Cup 2023 after losing in the final against Australia.
