Bengaluru (Karnataka): India skipper Rohit Sharma on Sunday said that he was "very pleased" with how his side performed in the nine league games, which they won in the ongoing Cricket World Cup. India thrashed minnows the Netherlands by a staggering 160 runs at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium here.
"Since we started the tournament, for us, it was all about thinking about one game at a time and playing that game well. We never wanted to look too far ahead because it's a long tournament. It was important for us to break it down and focus on one game and play that well," Rohit, who led from the front, said at the post-match presentation.
India put up an all-round show to trounce the Netherlands in a lop-sided contest. India first rode on Shreyas Iyer's unbeaten 128 and KL Rahul's 102 to post a massive 410/4 and then bowled out the opposition for 250 to record an easy win.
The Mumbaikar Rohit also praised his team for adapting and playing according to conditions at nine different venues.
"That is what everyone did. Because you play in different venues and different conditions, you got to adapt and play accordingly, that's exactly what we did. Very pleased with how we have played in these nine games. Very clinical from game one till today. That's because different individuals have stepped up at different times. This is a good sign for the team when everyone wants to take responsibility and get the job done for the team.
"Although we play a lot of cricket in India, we know the conditions, but still when you play different opposition, that's the challenge in different conditions. We adapted really well," added the Nagpur-born star opener.
Rohit Sharma also stressed that results do matter to keep the dressing room environment lively.
