“We all know how good they are wherever they go, not just in England. We were clear what we wanted to do. When you win games, it’s always good. The group is also confident, Which is very important. We will keep watching and focus on what lies ahead. Wanted to see how we perform after a win and will challenge us as a group,” Rohit was quoted as saying .
