India captain Rohit Sharma is happy that his team is "moving in the right direction" and ticking all the right boxes but doesn`t want complacency to creep in with just three months left for the T20 World Cup in Australia. India have won fourth consecutive series under Rohit`s captaincy and with an aggressive batting and bowling approach on display in powerplay, they have crushed England by 50 and 49 runs respectively in the first two games of the three-match T20I series. "We are moving in the right direction and ticking the right boxes," a happy Rohit said at the post-match presentation ceremony when asked about how he is feeling with the mega-event just months away.
However he had a note of caution for his men. "The only red flag I see is we can`t get carried away," he said. The skipper was all praise for his team`s approach in the powerplay both with bat and ball. "We do understand the importance of the powerplay, whether we bat or bowl. Our powerplay in both games was superb and want to give guys confidence to continue," he said. For the India skipper, 170 on this Edgbaston track was a par-score. "Was good to finish on a score we thought was par on that surface," Rohit said. Winning is a nice feeling but for Rohit, the more important aspect was how to carry the momentum. "When you win games, it`s always nice. The group is also confident, which is very important. We will look to continue and focus on what lies ahead. Wanted to see how we do after a win and will look to challenge us as a group," he said.
