Xtra Time Web Desk: Rohit Sharma is on a mission to seize the T20 World Cup trophy with his aggressive and fearless approach. As the Indian captain, he's ensuring that his entire team shares this vision, running alongside him with the new Indian team philosophy.

"In T20, I don't believe we need to get fifties and hundreds. What matters is the pressure you put on the bowlers. All the batters from the word go played like that and that's how we want to play as well," said a proud Rohit Sharma after India outclassed Bangladesh in a Super 8 clash on June 22.

That day, Rohit led from the front, scoring 23 off 11 balls at a strike rate of 209.09, leaving fans craving more. And he delivered spectacularly in the tournament's biggest match so far, smashing 92 runs off just 41 balls against Australia with a strike rate of over 224. This is the same intent he showcased during the ODI World Cup, but now his team is matching his pace.

Rohit is not just making a run for the trophy; he is ensuring his teammates are sprinting alongside him. The Indian batting unit's transformation is evident—no one is waiting to settle in. This new mantra, "see ball, hit ball," has been adopted from the top order down, with Rohit leading by example.

Paul Collingwood, speaking in the Star Sports Press Room, highlighted how Rohit has instilled this change. "The messaging is pretty clear from Rohit Sharma. It's not about personal milestones; it's about strike rate and having an impact on the game. All these things are huge when it comes to the players having the belief that the captain and the coaches are 100 percent behind them."

Collingwood noted the significant shift in India's strategy, drawing parallels to England's aggressive approach under Eoin Morgan. "India has always been one of the best chasers in T20 cricket. But there's been a massive switch, especially when setting targets. They really want to be aggressive from the first ball."

This change, driven by Rohit's leadership, has transformed India into a formidable force. The captain's focus on maintaining a high strike rate and making a significant impact has unified the team. As Collingwood said, "When you have the skill level of the batters that the Indian cricket team has, they can be a very powerful and dangerous unit."

True leadership in sports is about leading by example, and Rohit Sharma is doing just that. He is making a run towards the T20 World Cup trophy, but he wants his team to be right there with him, side-by-side, as they race to the finish line on June 29. The captain has set the pace, and the team is matching his rhythm.
