Delhi: The great batsman Sunil Gavaskar has advised Indian captain Rohit Sharma. He says that Rohit should bat in the powerplay instead of playing excessively aggressive.
Recently, Gautam Gambhir justified Rohit Sharma’s attacking game and said that the team management sees his intentions, not his average or just run. Gambhir believes that the team benefits from Rohit’s fast start, which makes the middle order batsmen easy to play.
Gavaskar’s suggestion
In a conversation with India Today, Gavaskar said, “For the last two years, he has been adopting this view. It started during the World Cup in India and he is standing on this formula. He has got some success, although probably not as much as his talent should be found. He is an incredibly talented player who has shots that very few people have in the game. “
He further said, “If he also bats 25 overs, India will be around 180-200. Imagine if they batted by then and have lost only two wickets; Just think what they can do – they can reach 350 or more. ”
‘Rohit should think’
Gavaskar said about Rohit, “He should also think about it. It is one thing to play aggressively, but there should be some discretion somewhere to bat for 25-30 overs. If he does so, he will take away the game from the opposition team. This kind of influence is going to win the match. I think, as a batsman, are you happy scoring 25-30 runs? You should not be! So I would say the same to them, if you bat for 25 overs instead of just seven, eight or nine overs, then your impact on the team will be even more. “
