Former India head coach Ravi Shastri has suggested that captain Rohit Sharma needs to adapt his successful white-ball strategy when he comes in to bat at number six in the upcoming Boxing Day Test against Australia starting in Melbourne on Thursday. Is.<\/p>\nRohit stepped up to number six after KL Rahul’s good performance as an opener in the 295-run win in Perth, a match he missed due to the birth of his second child. But after coming in at number six in the batting order, Rohit has scored 10, three and six in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy series so far.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think he needs to be very clear in his mindset to go on the field and attack the opposition and not worry about anything else. The last thing you want is for him to be in two minds whether to defend or attack. In his case, it must be assault. He picks up the length quickly, he should face the opposition at this number.<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause if he gets out in the first 10-15 minutes, he cannot go beyond 15-20 minutes, half an hour. So why don’t you play a natural game, attack the opposition and then move on? Because I think this is his best way to not only get back into form but also win matches for India.<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause that number is an important number. The best number 6s in the world are people who know how to counter-attack. They understand the situation very well. Yes, if a lot of wickets have fallen, maybe for a while.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou have to be careful, but the intention should be as soon as possible,\u201d Shastri said on the ICC Review Show. \u201cEspecially when you have that kind of ability and especially when you open the batting for India and you have all the shots for Australian conditions.\u201d<\/p>\n
With the five-match series tied 1-1, Shastri also praised Rahul, who has been India’s best batsman on the tour with 235 runs at an average of 47 in six innings and has forged a strong opening partnership with Yashasvi Jaiswal. . Rahul’s inning of 84 runs in Brisbane also helped India avoid the follow-on.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would have asked him (Rohit) to open in the last Test match, but the way Rahul batted, I mean it was fun to watch him and the way he is batting, I think he has been in great form. have achieved.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis may be a situation he wants to maintain and improve the way he is playing because there is no flaw in his technique. The way he left the ball, the way he allowed the ball to come onto the bat, I mean some of his cover drives were as good as any cover drive played by any player in world cricket at the moment.<\/p>\n
Shastri concluded, \u201cAnd so I think when there is so much confidence, you know, let it happen. I would like to see Rohit Sharma, there will be a slight change in his strategy because he can still be extremely dangerous at that number (six).\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
