There is still one month to go for the T20 World Cup
Rohit Sharma in full cry at BCCI press conference

Cricket fans are used to seeing a hailstorm of sixes from Rohit Sharma the batter when he leads India in an ODI or even a Test match.

On Thursday, at a press conference where he was seated next to Ajit Agarkar, chairman selection committee of the BCCI, 'Hitman' was in the mood to answer carping critics with gusto.

The way Rohit Sharma took on questions from the media, online, was proof he is here to lead Team India at the ICC T20 World Cup in June without any fear. He first earned praise from Agarkar. "Rohit has been a terrific leader," said the former India fast bowler. That, perhaps, set the tone and tenor for the leader to take over and answer questions with aplomb.

For those who think the Indian Premier League (IPL) alone is the barometer for measuring performance and is the selection criteria, Rohit and Agarakar's press meet was brilliant. "If you get swayed by three-four weeks of cricket, then there is something wrong with your thinking. We have been planning and thinking about our World Cup for a long time now," said Agarkar on why IPL performance alone was not considered.
