Sharma stressed the team's plan of playing one game at a time as he reflected
on the trip. "Since the beginning of the tournament, it's been all about
one game at a time." "We never wanted to look too far ahead,"
Rohit said following the game. With 11 potential games in a long tournament,
the squad chose a targeted strategy, breaking down the competition into
digestible pieces.
