The Men in Blue begin their quest for a third title in the tournament, in which they have also been two-time runners-up and reached the semi-finals on a further five occasions.
India suffered a blow last week when Jasprit Bumrah was ruled out after sustaining a back injury.
Nevertheless, Rohit insists the squad have the credentials to thrive in his absence, including the likes of Axar Patel, Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar.
"If it's going to be overcast, we have the bowling arsenal to combat that," he said.
"If there are overhead conditions helping the bowlers, we have the bowlers to exploit that. And if we bat in those overhead conditions, the batters know exactly what to do.
"Those three guys - Jadeja, Axar, and Washy - give us a different dimension to the game, our combination, and our squad, and add a lot of depth. That is why we tried to get players who have two skills rather than one."
Rohit also highlighted the importance of바카라 웹사이트what바카라 웹사이트Varun Chakravarthy, who has claimed 60 wickets in 24 matches, and Mohammad Shami - fresh from returning last month after ankle injury - can bring to his side.
"[Varun]바카라 웹사이트doesn't bowl too many variations to us in the nets. He bowls just one type of delivery," the skipper said.바카라 웹사이트"Maybe, he doesn't want to show his variations even to us.바카라 웹사이트But that is a good thing.
"He has got certain weapons which he wants to just put out there, when it actually matters. I am more than happy if he wants to do that.
"But, he has got something different, which is why he is here with us. He has been impressive in the last eight to nine months. That is why we wanted to bring him here and see what he has and what he can do for India on the big stage."
Rohit continued: "When you talk about a bowler like Shami, who has done the job over the years so many times for us.바카라 웹사이트For them, it's just about getting back into rhythm. Hopefully, he can find some rhythm early on in this tournament."
