India concluded their preparations for the upcoming Champions trophy with 3-0 routing of England, and in the last game they demolished visitors through a huge margin of 142 run. “There is a bit of freedom in the team to go outside and play the way you want. The World Cup (2023) was a perfect example of that. We want to keep doing that. There will be times when it will not fall on being Place, but that's okay, “said Rohit in the presentation after the game.
He was very happy with setting up a collective show and everyone who delivered satisfactory versions.
“Very pleasant (with the way the series went). We knew that there would be challenges that we could be confronted with,” he added.
Without going to details, Rohit said that India will further improve their game with the Champions Trophy, starting on February 19, in mind.
“It is clear that there are certain things we are looking at and I will not be here and explain that. It is also our job to keep a consistency within the team and communication is clear.
“Of course, a champion team wants to get better and continue every game,” he added.
Player of the match and series, Shubman Gill said that the hundred was one of his better beating because there was initially help for fast bowlers.
“I felt good. I think this was one of the better beating. The field was a bit tricky in the beginning, so it's satisfactory. There was a bit for the fast bowlers.
“It was seam, so the chat was to rotate strike and not to lose wickets in Power Play, to build on the momentum and take it from there,” he said.

“The dressing room is exciting, lots of energy, everyone in great shape, momentum for the Champions trophy,” he said.

Shreyas, who made two 1950s in the series, including a 78, has the fact that he could not get a hundred.
“I wish I could have got a hundred. In the first game I wanted to take the momentum for our team. I played every ball on his merit. I supported my instincts in the second game before I got up. But today I got the chance To go on a good platform from Shubman and Rohit, “he added.

England skipper Jos Butler said his side was “surpassed” in the series of three games.
“We were surpassed by a fantastic team. Our approach is the right one, only that we did not executed properly. They put (India) a great score on the board. Shubman played a great innings,” said Buttler.
