T20 World Cup, IND vs SCO: Speaking ahead of India's Super 12 clash vs Scotland, Rohit Sharma revealed to ICC about his game maturity, the 2019 World Cup and also why centuries don't matter if you don't win the trophy.

In their third match, they sealed their first win of the campaign, defeating Afghanistan by 66 runs on Wednesday. The Men in Blue face Scotland in their upcoming match on Friday in Dubai and will be aiming to keep their dwindling semifinal hopes alive.

During his interaction with ICC, the swashbuckling batsman also explained that it's easier to register centuries nowadays due to the evolving nature of the game. The Mumbai Indians (MI) captain was asked about the 2019 World Cup, where India crashed out in the semifinals against New Zealand. Meanwhile, he also revealed that his records or runs don't really matter if the team doesn't win the trophy in the end.

"A lot of hundreds have been scored these days. This is all because of the nature of the game and what has evolved over the years. You know people have gone out to play fearlessly, not thinking about what if they get out. That has actually worked for a lot of teams, including us", he said.

"Yeah, 2019 World Cup was a very special one for me personally. Only because I got runs and it was good. There was a procedure that I was trying to follow and it worked for me. That was the happiness. You know when you go into any tournament, there is a certain plan which has been placed by you and you want to follow that. That is what I did and it worked for me. If you don't win the trophy, all those runs that you score, all those hundreds that you score mean nothing honestly", he concluded.
