Talking about pressure in his game, Rohit Sharma shared, “Challenges are part and parcel of an athlete's life. These are opportunities to learn and grow. But converting challenges to opportunities takes a tremendous amount of will power and guts. You really need to push yourself and say, “You Got This.” I have had that attitude all my life and it has enabled me to manage pressure every time I am pushed out of my comfort zone.”
