Rohit Sharma Appreciation Squad


Recommended Posts

I haven't really followed this series but I noticed that Rohit seemed to be getting more than the usual hate on icf as well as on twitter so I checked the series top scores. Kohli has been India's highest scorer with 233 and Rohit is 2nd with 202 runs. Both played 6 innings. Seeing the vicious criticism he has been getting, I would have thought that he scored maybe 20 or 30 runs in the whole series - turns out he is our second highest run scorer!!!

Before the start of second innings of this test Pujara had nearly scored as many runs in one innings as Rohit had in the entire series (5 innings ) .And the hate is becoz he was played ahead of the same Pujara in the first two tests . The reality is he only batted better than Rahul as others were injured(Vijay and Dhawan) dropped (Pujara) unfairly shifted(Rohit) to accommodate Rohit And Rohit is the only specialist bat (Apart from Vijay ) who hasn't scored a 100 for us in this series

He just needs more confidence like in odis where he blossomed after he settled as opener .If he gets few runs and feels settled he will be a match winner.He is the best stroke player in the team and even technically he has good back foot and now his front foot stride has improved.he looked even better than pujara on a difficult pitch.
