“That’s where he (Rohit Sharma) is been at his best over the last eight or nine years,” Ravi Shastri was stated as telling by ‘The Age’ .” It’s not that he is going to set the world on fire – he could – but that’s the place that’s best for him….If he has to do damage, if he has to throw th first punch, that’s the best place from where he can do it.”
Rohit Sharma has made only one fifty in his last 10 innings heading into the pink-ball Test last week when Ravi Shastri, engrossmently, advised against changing the opening pair of KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal after their good performance in the position while backing the skipper to bat in the middle-order.
Ravi Shastri told he has no doubt the winner of the third test could go on to claim the series. “I feel whichever team wins this Test match will win the series. I have absolutely no doubt in my mind. So it is very, very important that India get the balance right, because Australia have got the confidence back,” the ex. skipper told. The victory of 2021 is assumed one of the greatest in the history of Indian cricket and Ravi Shastri, while addressing at the first annual Usman Khawaja Foundation lunch at the Gabba.
