India last won a World Cup — the ODI trophy— 11 years ago and skipper Rohit Sharma knows his team will have to do a lot of things right to be crowned T20 champions.

Their last ICC title was the Champions Trophy in 2013.

“If individuals can keep themselves calm and composed during the game we will get the results that we are looking for. It has been a while since we won the World Cup."

“The motive and thought process is to win the WorldCup but we know we need to do a lot of things right to get there. So one step at a time for us and focus on each team we are going to come against and not think about semis or finals,” Rohit said in a video posted on bcci.tv.

This is Rohit’s first ICC event as captain. “It is a big honour to captain the side. My first World Cup as captain so I am excited about it. It is a great opportunity to come here and do something special.

“Every time you come for a World Cup it is a great feeling. We had a great camp (training)in Perth. We won two series at home recently but Australia will be a different challenge. Conditions will be challenging but there is a reason why we came here early.”

India play their opening game against Pakistan in Melbourne on Sunday. “It is a big game but we are going to keep relaxed and focus on what we need to do as individuals. That will be key,” he said.
