Rohit Sharma believes Virat Kohli can solve his off-stump delivery issues in Australia. In the first Test in Perth, Kohli scored an undefeated century to end a slump. He has been dismissed often in the five-match series for chasing balls away from his stumps.”Modern-day greats will figure out their own ways (to deal with the issue),” he remarked.
His batting form has been questioned recently. Since returning for the second Test after his son’s birth, the captain has scored three, six, and 10.
Rohit stayed mum on returning to the starting spot, where he is most productive, despite his middle order struggles.
Let’s ignore that. I think we should decide ‘who bats where?’ It shouldn’t be discussed at every press conference “Rohit stated.
“Whatever it takes for our team to look good or gives us the best chance to succeed, we’ll try and do that,” he said.
India won the first Test by 295 runs but lost 10 wickets in Adelaide. The rain-affected third Test in Brisbane ended in a draw.
“I think it’s fair at 1-1,” Rohit said. “Both teams have played solid cricket, and these next two Tests are going to be crucial for both sides.”
Rohit advised focussing on the present ahead of the Boxing Day Test.
“We want to break it down to Melbourne and focus on what we can achieve here, get things right, and play well.”
India has added uncapped Mumbai all-rounder Tanush Kotian for the final two Tests after excluding seamer Mohammed Shami, who has a knee ailment.
