IND vs ENG: If even Rohit Sharma can be under pressure, we should be easier on ourselves, says Buttler

The Hindu  

If a player of Rohit Sharma’s calibre could face pressure at times, the others should be a bit “easier” on themselves, said England skipper Jos Buttler as he hailed the Indian skipper’s much-awaited century as a lesson in modern and dynamic ODI batting. “It’s probably a nice reminder for all of us that if someone of Rohit’s caliber can be under pressure, we should be a bit easier on ourselves,” Buttler said after their four-wicket loss here. The England captain also lauded Rohit’s adaptability and said watching a player of his stature in action was a learning experience. “The way Rohit played showed that the way we want to play our cricket is the way, the correct way to play cricket.” Once again, England got off to a flier scoring 75 for no loss in the first 10 overs with Ben Duckett and Phil Salt making the most of the powerplay, before Indian spinners led by Ravindra Jadeja’s three-wicket haul seized the momentum.
