The India captain also addressed the talks around Australia having an upper hand as the conditions will suit them more. Sharma played down former Australia captain Ricky Ponting’s views saying he is entitled to give his opinion but it does not matter for India. 

“That’s his point of view. He’s allowed to give his opinion. Only time will tell which team has used the conditions really well.honestly – for us, it doesn’t really matter because we know what is at stake and we need to focus on that. And that is what the team is going to do. Whoever uses the conditions really well, probably will win the game. As simple as that,” said Rohit.
