'Welcome back, skipper. Missed you': Rohit Sharma wins back dressing room trust, shrugs off one of his 'worst feelings'
Hindustan TimesSometimes, it might take a while, like it did with Rohit Sharma, but ‘a while’ is very subjective, isn’t it? Between these two efforts, his scores read 0, 8, 18, 11, 3, 6, 10, 3, 9 and 2 in the first ODI on Thursday in Nagpur – a grand total of 70 runs in his last 10 international innings, hardly befitting a player of Rohit’s quality and stature. Rohit’s volume of work has ensured there has been no dip in respect, reverence, even awe during the last four months, but he more than anyone else would have felt the desperate need to put a score on the board, just to reassure himself that the run-making beast in him is very much alive and kicking. Not even a brief interruption as one of the light towers played truant hampered the entertainment as Rohit surged into the ‘zone’ batters so crave but seldom attain. The black-soil surface discouraged horizontal-bat strokes, so Rohit relied on the conventional – inasmuch as 119 off 90, 12 fours and seven sixes can be conventional – as he targeted the straight field and didn’t cut or pull unless the ball was really, really short.
