Rohit Sharma praises Suryakumar after Australia series win, backs Bhuvneshwar and Harshal to regain form

India Today  

India captain Rohit Sharma hailed Suryakumar Yadav for his heroic knock against Australia while backing pacers Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Harshal Patel to hit form ahead of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2022. “It's important that we give him that space because when you have a guy like him in the team and the quality that he brings, we know that he's had more good days than bad days in the last so many years.” “We've been working on some plans, and hopefully, we can give him more options to bowl at the death. “And for someone with that experience, it'll be easy for him to grasp all that knowledge.” Harshal, who is coming off a long injury layoff, also struggled, giving away 99 runs in eight overs in the three games, but Rohit said the death overs specialist is not being judged on this series. It's important to keep showing that faith and I'm sure that you know he's also trying to rectify those mistakes and he's not too far from his best.” Assessing the team's performance in the series, Rohit said “We want to tighten in all departments.
