How Rohit Sharma is leading an Indian revolution in T20 cricket

[sage]

The captain wants his batters to be a lot more aggressive and he's taken the first step towards that himself

Catching up (or forced to change ways or indirectly admitting that past approach by the top 3 was outdated) = revolution? 
 

PS CSK, KKR, & PK already are batting positively … It is mostly these stats focused usual suspects that were batting for their 20-30 runs first before playing for the team

Rohit is redefining how to play cricket

Something Kohli should have done long back. Predictability works in Tests. Not in LOIs.  Kohli was always uber predictable with almost everything. 10 years of RCB captaincy should tell you that. His team always looked like depending on top order. Rohit's first goal was to change that predictability. Recent shuffling of batting order confirms that.

If KL were not injured and Kohli not on vacation, Ind would have had the same top 3. 

 

Good to see that when these guys were not available esp. versus SA and Ireland that Ind got to see some relatively fresh cricket including exciting talent such as Umran being played (esp. against Ireland).

Rohit sharma own strike rate has been a great change- batting at 140 this yr

His career strike rate is 140 so nothing special but i get your point he has changed his batting style and whole team follows that now.

The message is clear to the team!

Lets see if Kohli follows it too.

In terms of six hitting he is still unparalleled. Especially against pacers.  KL Rahul when he was expressive could come close to Rohit. If that guy adopts this new approach it will be a tremendous boost for India.  Kohli even at his peak was more into accumulating  before a final flourish. He was able to play that game back then because he could preserve his wicket until that flourish. Nowadays he doesn't even get to that point. SKY has shown sparks. Let us see if he sustains.

diff is he was a slow starter who use to change gears as his innings progressed but now he is starting quick

This is like 90s liberalisation. We're among the last ones to wake up & smell the coffee and then act like we've done something revolutionary.

"this year" is a very random time frame.

 

How many games does this include? Does it include the IPL?

Should retire from format after this worldcup if he has any shame left. Has played all t20 worldcups and other than 2007 one he has done nothing in any important match.

The positive mindset went out the window when 145ks pacemen come steaming in

[Frustrated]

Yes, he is inspiring the Retirement Home to believe there is still a long life after death.
