Describing him as the man of the tournament so far, Kohli asked the opener about his scintillating run. Rohit Sharma leads the run getters list with an aggregate of 647 runs coming at a splendid average of 92.43.

Rohit remarked, “It is an important tournament for us. We had some really good form coming into the World Cup. As a top order batsman, I wanted to carry on the form I had in the past, coming into a tournament like the World Cup. When you start off really well again South Africa, I just carried on the confidence.”

“As a cricketer we don’t look into the past, the present is important. I’m just trying to focus on that and see where we can take the team as a batting unit”

“The World Cup is a premiere tournament. The focus should always be on your routine, what you try and do in the bilateral games” Rohit told bcci.tv.

Virat Kohli asserted that it had been a decade of them playing together and recalled how the Indian opener was dejected after being dropped for the 2011 World Cup squad.

After finishing on top of the points table, India will be facing New Zealand in the first semifinal at Manchester on Tuesday.
