Sunil Gavaskar Says Rohit Sharma “Has To Change His Approach” Before The Tests In South Africa
The focus will be on captain Rohit Sharma, who is playing for the Indian cricket team for the first time since the end of the Cricket World Cup 2023, as they take on a task they have never been able to master before. Before the Indian team's defeat to Australia in the championship game, Rohit led by example, leading them on a run of ten straight victories. The legendary Sunil Gavaskar wants the Hitman to radically alter his strategy as India prepares for the test in South Africa.
As they attempt a task they have never been able to master before, the attention will be on skipper Rohit Sharma. Prior to the Indian team’s loss to Australia in the final match, Rohit set the bar high, guiding them to a string of ten consecutive wins. While India gets ready for the test in South Africa, the legendary Sunil Gavaskar urges the Hitman to drastically change his approach. In an effort to score as many runs as possible during the powerplay, Rohit dressed like a batsman during the ODI World Cup. Gavaskar hopes that this approach will change.
He decided to take the offensive position and try to score as many runs as he could in the first ten overs, when the field restrictions were relaxed. During the World Cup, everything became clear. It was how he approached the World Cup. Compared to one-day international cricket, test cricket requires a batter to stay on the field for longer and play strokes with more composure. Gavaskar is optimistic that Rohit would quickly embrace this new way of thinking. “In Test cricket, he needs to completely reevaluate his strategy since he must consider himself batting the entire day. If he bats all day, he might easily wind up with 150 or more, given his range of shots. India would probably score 300, 350, or more runs if it didn’t happen,” he said. He needs to change it. The instant a run is scored, as a hitter in a batter-captain role, your confidence in steering the team also increases.
