Veteran Sunil Gavaskar has said that captain Rohit Sharma will have to use their bowlers cleverly against England. Rohit Sharma and Co. will be taking on England in a five-match Test series starting January 25. Speaking to Star Sports, Gavaskar said Rohit will have to use his bowlers cleverly since there’s not a lot of turn on offer in Hyderabad.
“As captain, Rohit Sharma will need to use his bowlers cleverly. Usually in Hyderabad, there is not enough turn on offer, so if England bats first and make a successful start till lunch, there we’ve to see how he uses his bowlers to judge him,” said Gavaskar.
Gavaskar also went on to say that Rohit was brilliant against England during their last Test series in India. To note, Rohit had scored 161 runs in the first innings against England in the second Test of their 2021/22 series in Chennai to help the hosts win the match by 317 runs.
“Rohit Sharma scored a tremendous century against England in the Chennai Test during the previous home series. He showed how to bat in a spin-friendly pitch. If he bats similarly then Team India will get a good start. It also eases the work for No. 3 and 4 batters,” Gavaskar added.
