‘Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma should watch videos where they scored centuries after centuries’: Sunil Gavaskar to HT
Hindustan TimesIt will be no exaggeration to classify the Indian batting into two eras – Before Gavaskar and After Gavaskar. “I just get the feeling that there is a certain urgency, a certain rush that the Indian batters are showing, which on Australian surfaces when the ball is new and the bounce is something that you are not used to, is causing them problems,” Gavaskar tells Hindustan Times as he dissects India’s problems. “Look, he's scored thousands of runs through that extra-cover drive,” Gavaskar insists. “But you don't score X thousand runs in international cricket and get that many hundreds unless you know how to approach and build a Test innings. I want that positivity to come into their thinking rather than them thinking only about getting out to deliveries that are on the off-stump.” India's Rohit Sharma walks off the field after his dismissal by Australia's bowler Pat Cummins Rohit has had even worse time than Kohli in the last three months, with a solitary score of more than 50 in 13 innings and a multitude of single-digit outs.
