Gavaskar: Rohit Sharma Embraces Experienced ODI Batting Strategy

Legendary batsman Sunil Gavaskar has highlighted a notable transformation in Rohit Sharma’s batting technique during One Day Internationals. After Sharma’s commendable 73 against Australia in the recent second ODI, Gavaskar pointed out that the Indian captain has adopted a more experienced-led approach. While Sharma previously aimed for rapid starts, often achieving quick 40s or 50s within the first 10-15 overs, Gavaskar observes a shift towards playing longer, more impactful innings. The former opener believes Sharma is now prioritizing building a substantial score, even a century, which is crucial for setting competitive totals. This adaptation, according to Gavaskar, demonstrates Sharma’s ability to apply his extensive experience to different game situations, ensuring he plays a foundational role for the team.
