Former India coach Ravi Shastri said that captain Rohit Sharma should change his strategy to bat with a clear mindset and score runs at number 6.
“I would like to see Rohit Sharma change his strategy a little bit because he can still be dangerous at that number (six). I think he has to be very clear in his mindset to go out there and attack the opposition and not worry about anything else,” Shastri said. said in the ICC review.
“The last thing you want is for him to be in two minds about defending or attacking. In his case, it has to be attack. He picks up length quickly, he has to take on that number of opponents. Because if he goes away in the first 10-15 minutes, any By the way, he hasn’t had that 15-20 minutes, half an hour. So why don’t you play the natural game, go and attack the opposition and take it from there?” He added.
Shastri said the best way for Rohit to find form is to counter-attack the bowler like the world’s best No.6 batsman. Rohit hasn’t been at his best in the position, scoring 10, 3 and 6 in his last 3 innings as he moved down the order, allowing KL Rahul to retain his place as opener after his recent success.
“I think it’s a good way for him not only to get back into form, but also to win games for India. Because that number is an important number. The best number 6s in the world are guys who know how to counter-attack. They Reads the situation well. Yes, if more wickets fall, you may have to be cautious, but the intention should be sooner rather than later.
“Especially when you have that kind of ability and especially when you open the batting for India and you have all the shots for the conditions in Australia,” he added.
