Colombo Indian captain Rohit Sharma said after the tremendous victory over Sri Lanka in the final of the Asia Cup that this performance of the team will be remembered for a long time. When Rohit was answering media questions in the post-match press conference, crackers were bursting outside the stadium to mark India's victory.

Rohit Sharma said that it was a great performance, especially coming into the final and playing like this. This reflects the mentality of the team. Our fast bowlers have been working very hard for many years, it is great to see when they perform like this.

Rohit said that the conditions are favorable in such matches, but a high level of skill is also required to perform like this in the final. It's very rare, you don't see many guys (like Siraj) who can take the ball in the air and off the pitch.

Rohit praised Shubman Gill and said that he is in great form. If he bats like this, it works for the team.

Important points of Rohit's press conference -

Akshar Patel will not be able to play the first two matches against Australia

Shreyas Iyer is 99 percent match fit, his fitness is not a matter of concern for us.

We chose Washington as Akshar's replacement, he is part of the Asian Games camp in Bengaluru and was fully prepared to play the match. I am completely clear about the role of the players.

Spin all-rounder Ashwin is still part of our plans. I talk to him constantly on the phone.
