India sailed to the Super Eight stage of the T20 World Cup 2024, after successfully defeating Ireland, Pakistan and then co-hosts, USA and their clash against Canada was called off due to the wet outfield in flood-hit Florida. 

Shedding light on the upcoming leg of the tournament, Indian skipper, Rohit Sharma recently talked about how his players are prepared for the grind amid the "little hectic" schedule in order to do "something special".

In a video shared by BCCI's official Instagram handle, the determined skipper was heard talking about the real keenness of all the players despite the hectic schedule that demands a lot of travelling.

"Once we play our first game, we are going to play the next two in a span of 3 or 4 days. It is going to be a little hectic but we are used to all of this. We travel and play a lot so that is never going to be an excuse," the 37-year-old said.

On Monday, the Indian team had an extended practice session with Virat Kohli and Rohit spending more-than-usual time in the nets.

"There is real keenness in the group to go and do something special. That's a good way to start the second stage. It clearly shows that everyone wants to make a difference and we take our skill sessions quite seriously," he said.

Unlike the torrid time the Indian team endured while batting at the US leg due to the drop- in pitches, Rohit said the ongoing Caribbean leg brings with it a sense of familiarity and his team would look to make the most of it. 

"We have seen a lot of games here, we have played a lot of games here. So everyone understands what one needs to do to get the result in our favour. Everyone is looking forward and are quite excited as well at the same time," he added.

India will open their Super 8 campaign against Afghanistan on June 20, followed by games against Bangladesh (June 22, Antigua) and Australia (June 24, St Lucia).
