'Tactical error': Sanjay Manjrekar on Rohit Sharma delaying introduction of spinners in Rajkot Test

Former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar feels Rohit Sharma might have made a tactical error while using his bowler against the ruthless English batting lineup in the ongoing third Test in Rajkot. After India wrapped up their first innings at 445 runs, England made a prolific start, with the opening pair of Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett putting up an 89-run stand. His prediction turned true when Ravichandran Ashwin dismissed Crawley, becoming the fastest Indian bowler to claim 500 Test wickets. During an interaction with ESPNCricinfo, Manjrekar was asked to share his view on Rohit’s decision to use Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja as the fourth and fifth bowling options.
