“Enjoy it and then give it your best” – Rohit Sharma on Saturday’s final
While India would be vying for a record fifth Under-19 World Cup, England have reached their first final since winning the 1998 edition.
However, ahead of the summit clash, Rohit Sharma harped on the importance of just enjoying the big stage rather than being bogged down by it’s pressure. He further extended best wishes to the entire Indian team for bringing the cup home.
