I will retire when I feel like it

Players did not play for milestone
Rohit further said, 'I want to end the culture of playing for milestones in the team. I want players to play with maximum freedom. If players focus on the game situation, the numbers and milestones will come automatically.
I am not a player who focuses on numbers and statistics. Yes, it is important to score big runs but in this team a culture of playing according to the situation is developing. I want to continue this further. My players are playing cricket freely and this is my biggest victory. I want to completely eliminate the importance of statistics from my team in cricket.
It is important to play fearless cricket
Rohit further said, 'Players are not paying attention to personal scores. If you play according to the situation, the numbers themselves will be with you. It is very important to make the team win by playing fearless cricket. Fifty and century are also important, but in team sports I want to remove these things from focus.
