This may be his last ICC trophy as captain and if he wins, he will become the first Indian player (along with Virat Kohli) to win four ICC trophies. He has already won the T20 World Cup and winning the Champions Trophy will be a great achievement. He will be motivated to do so, but it will be important for him to score runs."
Rohit should play aggressively
Talking further about Rohit Sharma's playing style, Raina said, "I think Rohit should play aggressively. You saw how he batted in the ODI World Cup. He was playing aggressively in the final. So I think his approach will remain the same. The question is who will open with him, will it be Shubman Gill? I remember when they play together, they have aggressive intent."
