Defending champions India failed to qualify for the final of the Asia Cup 2022 after losing to Pakistan and Sri Lanka in the Super 4 stage.
However, Virat Kohli, who scored 122 in the game against Afghanistan, his first international hundred in almost three years, revealed the team’s main goal in his interview with captain Rohit Sharma.
According to him, Asia Cup was not the goal they were looking at as a team, and the Men in Blue wanted to do well in the ICC T20 World Cup in Australia.
“Asia Cup was not our goal as we are targeting the T20 World Cup in Australia. You also know we want to perform well in that tournament. We, as a team, are working hard before we leave for Australia. The conditions will be tough over there, but we would leave early, so that’s going to help us before the real action,” he said.
