The members of Team India may have been preoccupied with the IPL, but they are all prepared for the ICC World Test Championship, which begins on June 7, and they are experienced in playing in England's red ball format.

No one feels at ease at the crease as a batsman in English conditions, according to Indian captain Rohit Sharma, who scored his only Test century outside of the subcontinent at The Oval in 2021. However, he is aware of when to be aggressive against the bowlers of the opposing team. The Indian captain believes there is no choice but to put in a lot of effort on English pitches in advance of the World Test Championship final against Australia, which begins on Wednesday.

On Sunday, Rohit said in an ICC programme called "Afternoon with Test Legends" that the conditions in England are generally very difficult for the batsman. Success is yours as long as you're willing to overcome obstacles.

In the four Test matches against England in 2021, Rohit was India's top batsman. The Indian captain was seated alongside Pat Cummins, Ross Taylor, and Ian Bell when he shared his personal experience, saying, "One thing I realised in 2021 is that you never freeze at the crease and then the weather keeps changing." After spending a considerable amount of time focusing, you realise that it is time to tune the bowlers. The most crucial thing is that you must assess your strengths at the crease.
