Sunil Gavaskar on Rohit Sharma: Indian team captain Rohit Sharma is struggling with his performance in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia. After Adelaide, his bat did not work even in Gabba. He was out after scoring 10 runs in 27 balls at Gabba. He was dismissed by Pat Cummins. On the fourth day of the Gabba Test, the Indian team suffered its first major setback in the form of Rohit. After the end of the third day’s play, when he returned unbeaten with KL Rahul, everyone expected a big innings from him. But on the fourth day he could not stay at the crease for long. Rohit has been facing poor form for quite some time.
What did Sunil Gavaskar say?
Former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar is also disappointed with Rohit’s batting. He said about Rohit’s batting, I think when you are above 35 years of age, you have to play cricket continuously. Whether you play with the white ball or the red ball, if there are gaps in your game, your muscle memory needs the speed and rest needed to play first-class cricket. I think because of the gap that has come in Rohit Sharma’s cricket, he is now having to struggle a bit to play. He is playing the ball a little late and perhaps that is why he is getting out more often.
Rohit’s disappointing performance against Australia continues
Rohit could not play the first match of Border Gavaskar Trophy. Due to the birth of the child he stayed with the family. In his absence, Jasprit Bumrah led the Indian team in Perth. And he led India to victory by 295 runs. Rohit made a comeback in the Adelaide Test, but there too his bat remained quiet. Rohit could score only 3 and 6 runs in the two innings of Adelaide. India lost the Adelaide Test by 10 wickets. Even in the Gabba Test, he could not make a big partnership with KL Rahul in India’s first innings and this put the team in great danger.
