Insights from Sunil Gavaskar on the strategy of the Indian team’s captain

Insights from Sunil Gavaskar on the strategy of the Indian team’s captain: Rohit Sharma, who is the captain of India, hasn’t been doing well with the bat lately. Even in the first T20I against Australia, he was out in the first few overs. Fans and experts are talking a lot about Rohit’s performance at the top and his “new approach.”

Gavaskar’s suggestion for Rohit

Sunil Gavaskar, a legendary batsman in his time, has told Rohit to drop his “new approach” and go back to the way he has batted for most of his career.

“With Rohit Sharma, the range of shot that he has, he doesn’t really have to do what he is looking to do over here, that is step down the pitch even before the bowler has released the ball,” Gavaskar told India Today.

“The way he has been playing T20 cricket before that, his scoring and strike rate has been phenomenal. It’s been absolutely terrific. He hasn’t tried to do anything more. Over here, in the last few matches, it just seems to me that he is looking to do a little bit more and, in the process, getting out.”

Gavaskar doesn’t like the new approach.

Rohit has tried to become a more aggressive batter in T20Is since he took over as captain from Virat Kohli. However, Gavaskar doesn’t like this way of thinking from Rohit and has told him to spend a little more time in the middle before he goes wild.

“The white ball might move as much as the red ball. But there is just that slight movement which can be the difference between the ball hitting the middle of the bat and the ball taking the edge of the bat. So it means it could be hitting the ball into the air rather than into the stands.”“I do believe that Rohit needs to give himself that little more time, he has got all the shots in the book. Even if he gets off to a slow start, he can triple it by the time his innings is over,” he added.
