“That is the identification of a giant participant, simply as we method a giant event, he comes again into kind a way or the opposite, and he has proven this on the Asia Cup. That is the Rohit Sharma everyone knows. He isn’t making an attempt to hit the ball laborious; it is simply lazy magnificence. He’s specializing in timing the ball, and from the surface, it appears to be like so enjoyable to look at as a result of he makes batting look fairly simple.”
“And these are good indicators for Indian cricket as a result of when your openers are providing you with a very good begin, you get an even bigger rating, and it helps the center order.

India’s subsequent match within the Tremendous 4 stage is in opposition to Bangladesh on the R Premadasa Stadium on Friday and focus will probably be on their struggles in opposition to left-arm spinners. In opposition to Sri Lanka on Tuesday, left-arm spin all-rounder Dunith Wellalage took a five-wicket haul, highlighting India’s struggles in opposition to dealing with that type of bowling.
In Bangladesh, captain Shakib Al Hasan is the lead left-arm spinner, who took a five-wicket haul in opposition to India in Dhaka final 12 months. Chawla, a member of India’s 2011 World Cup successful crew, feels India can maintain their very own when dealing with Shakib.
“If we discuss Shakib, he’s a really skilled participant, and I’ve performed in opposition to him as nicely. The best way his mind works is superb; he isn’t a giant turner of the ball, however he is aware of bowl in the appropriate areas.”
“So if the Indian crew has to play him, we’ve got succesful gamers as nicely; they’ll know handle in opposition to him. I would not name him a risk; I do not assume that any participant is a risk. Should you bat nicely, and India has such a protracted batting lineup, and lots of set gamers, so there should not be an issue dealing with him.”
Chawla additionally feels that Virat Kohli’s points in opposition to left-arm spin should not be learn deeply. “See, that relies on the day; if he actually had an issue in opposition to left-arm spinners, and you’ve got performed so many matches, you’ll get out in opposition to somebody or the opposite. If each crew thought this fashion, they would come with a left-arm spinner of their crew all the time.”
“However even within the shot he obtained out to lately (in opposition to Sri Lanka), it is certainly one of his scoring pictures; the ball got here on late from the pitch and he obtained out. Usually, that goes between sq. leg and mid-wicket, and he scores lots of runs like that. And if we discuss him having an issue in opposition to a left-arm spinner, then I do not assume he would have scored 47 centuries in One Day cricket.”
