Former Australian pacer Brett Lee has advised Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli to revisit their techniques before the high-octane IND vs AUS Test series. The veteran duo have been in poor form over the last two series and are currently concerns for the Men in Blue. Lee reckoned that Rohit and Virat should take a step back from cricket and work on their techniques before the series against Australia.
Lee wants Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli to prepare well for IND vs AUS Tests
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Brett Lee pointed out the pressure could set-in on Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli owing to their bad form off late. He pointed out that the Aussies would be waiting to attack the duo and advised them to be well-prepared before the IND vs AUS series. The Border-Gavaskar Trophy will get underway from November 22 with the 1st Test in Perth.
“When you have a couple of bad runs back-to-back, that’s when the pressure could set in. I guess the thing now is someone like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma just have to go back to the drawing board. Work on that technique, freshen up, get away from cricket as much as they can and then hit the ground running when they go to Australia, because I can promise you – these Australian fast bowlers will attack Rohit Sharma with that brand new ball,” Brett Lee said.
