Delhi: India’s great batsman Sunil Gavaskar has advised captain Rohit Sharma to make a good start against Australia in the semi-final match of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 as well as be patient and score big. Gavaskar wants Rohit not only to pay attention to the first powerplay, but play the game long and score big runs for the Indian team.

Gavaskar’s statement

Gavaskar said in a special conversation, “Rohit will have to focus on his sports style. He is an opening batsman and does not have to play for just 10 overs. Opening batsmen do not have to score 40-45 runs in just 10 overs. The more time he batting, the more runs will come to India’s account. ”

Rohit’s performance

Rohit’s performance in the Champions Trophy 2025 has been mixed so far. In the game against New Zealand on March 2, he scored 15 off 17 balls and was caught by Will Young while playing pull shot off Kyle Jaymison. In the match against Pakistan, Rohit started well, hit three fours and a six, but he had to return to the pavilion after scoring 20 runs in 15 balls at Shaheen Afridi’s Yorker. In India’s first match, Rohit scored 41 runs off 36 balls, but he was also dismissed due to a wrong shot.

Rohit’s changing intention

In recent years, Rohit has started paying more attention to the intention of the game. He has tried to take maximum advantage of powerplay overs. Recently, he made a comeback in a brilliant form by scoring 119 runs in 90 balls against England. However, Dubai’s pitch has been helpful for spinners and has not been easy to play stroke. In such a situation, if Rohit plays a long innings to make India a big score or to achieve the target against Australia, then it can be beneficial for the team.
