With 6 games left ahead of T20 World Cup, Rohit wants players to exit comfort zone

With the T20 World Cup squad already picked, India skipper Rohit Sharma wants his players to get out of their comfort zone and explore new things about their game in the six home games against Australia and South Africa ahead of the ICC showpiece next month.

Rohit feels players can now afford to extend their 'limits' without the pressure of selection.

The management will be giving rest to the likes of Hardik Pandya, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Arshdeep Singh over the six games but by and large it will have a full squad at its disposal.

Rohit's comments come in the backdrop of its Asia Cup campaign in which the team management experimented quite a bit and copped criticism for that.

"I wanted to bring security in the team that is why we announced the team for both the series before the World Cup [Australia and South Africa]. In Asia Cup also we more less had the same team," said Rohit ahead of the series opener against Australia.

"In these six games we want to keep trying what we can achieve with different styles. It is all about going out and trying to find ways of exploring ourselves but there is no limit to trying new things. You can extend yourself in so many directions to achieve so many things for the team."
