Rohit’s focus on batting
Speaking as Jio Star Expert, Sunil Gavaskar shared his views on Rohit Sharma’s comeback. While talking to the broadcaster’s show Amul Cricket Live, Gavaskar said, ‘I have been watching Rohit Sharma play for the last one year. Ever since he was removed from the captaincy of India’s limited-overs team and IPL franchise, his focus has become more focused on his batting.
‘Little Master’ further said, ‘Rohit scored runs in the ODI series against Australia. He also performed well in the domestic series and is now showing excellent performance in the IPL as well. In IPL, he usually scores 400 to 500 runs in a season, but most of his innings are quite effective. Even if he does not play any innings of more than 80 runs, his scores of 40 or 50 runs often set the tone for the team.
Mumbai Indians can give a shock
Sunny said, ‘The change in Rohit’s game is clearly visible. He is trying to leave a deep impact by batting till the end of the innings. In this innings of 84 runs, we saw the full range of shots of Rohit Sharma. sending short-pitched balls into the stands with pull shots, driving full-length balls over covers, and even batting effectively against spin. Against LSG, we saw a completely concentrated Rohit Sharma. Gavaskar said, ‘If Rohit Sharma maintains his form, then the Mumbai Indians team can give a blow to the playoff hopes of many other teams in the remaining matches.’
