'One Thing That Rohit Sharma Is Not Doing...': Indian Captain Sent Ominous Warning Ahead Of Border-Gavaskar Trophy

Rohit Sharma’s worrying form ahead of the Australian tour has been a worrying concern. The Indian skipper had s forgetful series against New Zealand where he could only muster 91 runs. The hosts were crushed on the home soil as New Zealand inflicted a whitewash after a prolonged gap of 20 years. Rohit registered a poor average of 15.16 in the three match Test series and questions have been raised over his ability in the red ball format. In the Mumbai Test match, Rohit failed once again with scores of 18 and 11 respectively and the focus will be on him when India take on Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy starting on November 22. Former Indian wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik opened up on Rohit Sharma’s struggles after India’s debacle at Wankhede Stadium. In an interaction with Cricbuzz, Karthik suggested the 37 year old should trust his technique in the long format."So, the one thing that Rohit Sharma is not doing, which he did very well when he took up his role as an opener, is trust his technique. Yes, attack is an option. But that will only come better if you trust your technique. Because you are worried you might get out defending or playing a soft shot, you are trying to attack. Then, that is fraught with risk. Because if it doesn't come off, it looks silly. "In Test cricket, what I feel is that intent is getting him into a safe space where he feels when in trouble, use that. It's not a method where he's using it like he's using it in white ball cricket, one that Indian team needed. Here, a lot of times, when he is beaten a couple of times, when he is put under a little bit of pressure, an immediate instinct is to play an attacking shot fraught with risk. Now, with that comes the ability to get out as well."
