Manjrekar advises Rohit Sharma to channelise inner ‘Pujara’ once again: ‘He is short of confidence…’

Hindustan Times  

One of the main batting concerns for India heading into the Boxing Day Test match in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy is the form of their senior batters, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. Rohit’s barren run with the bat in Test cricket continues, with only 152 runs in 13 innings since the start of the series against Bangladesh earlier this year. And bit of a rude shock when he played in that home series against New Zealand and his defense was getting breached on Indian pitches.” Rohit was dismissed by pacers regularly in the series vs the Kiwis, despite the rest of the Indian batters looking fairly comfortable against seam and struggling against spin. ‘A bit Pujara-like…’ Manjrekar pointed out that the main difference was that Rohit’s success was built on a rock-solid and patient defensive game, rather than looking to take the attack to opposition bowlers.
