What did Gambhir ask Rohit to do? (PC-GETTY IMAGES)
Even though Rohit Sharma did not bat in the first ODI match against England, now good news is coming out about this legendary player. There are reports that Gautam Gambhir has given free rein to Rohit Sharma. Head coach Gautam Gambhir wants Rohit Sharma to leave aside the future and bat openly in the current ODI series. They have been advised not to think too far ahead. Gautam Gambhir wants Rohit Sharma to bat in his fearless style and show his strength by performing well.
Rohit was stuck in Edgbaston ODI
Let us tell you that in the first match against England at Edgbaston Rohit Sharma Some appear to be stranded. This right-handed opener scored 11 runs but for this he played 21 balls. His strike rate was only 52.38. Rohit was seen batting very carefully in this innings. But till the 2023 World Cup, he used to bat openly, he used to think about scoring big in the powerplay, but ever since he stepped down from the captaincy, there is a slight difference in his batting style. Rohit is scoring runs but his starts are a bit slow which Gambhir does not want.
Who is in danger to Rohit Sharma?
Obviously, Rohit Sharma wants to play in the ODI World Cup 2027 by scoring runs continuously. However, it seems a bit difficult for this to happen because this player has turned 39 years old and if he gets injured now, it will be difficult for him to make a comeback. The big thing is that Team India has ODI players like Ishan Kishan and Yashasvi Jaiswal who have amazing records in this format. If Rohit is out and either Ishan or Yashasvi performs well, then it will be difficult for this veteran player to play in the ODI World Cup 2027.
Rohit is under pressure
In such a situation, it is clear that there will definitely be pressure on Rohit Sharma somewhere. He would like to perform well in the remaining two ODI matches against England. The good thing is that Rohit has scored a lot of runs in the ODI format in England. He has scored 7 ODI centuries in this country. Now it remains to be seen what wonders Rohit does in the remaining matches?
