In the final 10 T20I innings, Rohit has managed to attain just one fifty. In the final 5 T20 Internationals, Rohit has been dismissed twice with out scoring. In the opening match in opposition to Pakistan, Rohit managed solely 4 runs and in survival mode as an alternative of his free-flowing strategy.
“Really the one concern has been that Rohit Sharma just lately hasn’t scored with the identical potential as we all know him. I believe if that goes forward, it actually makes folks’s lives simpler for folks,” Gavaskar instructed India Today.
Gavaskar stated that going ahead, Rohit Sharma ought to present a very good platform for India within the subsequent matches.
“A good platform is one that everyone sees. You give a good platform, a good start and that makes it very easy for someone to start hitting the ball with the first ball to come down on four or five.” It is,” stated Gavaskar.
“They need not give themselves time to cool down, they need not give themselves time to stabilize the ship like India needed to do in opposition to Pakistan once they fell for 4 for 31.
“So, even if you start a bit slow, maybe you can get close to 40 for the loss of 1 wicket, it’s a better platform than 31/4,” he added.
India will tackle the Netherlands on Thursday.
