IND vs ENG Tests: Ex-England spinner calls Rohit Sharma ‘Don Bradman of turning pitches’

Ahead of the IND vs ENG Test series, an ex-England spinner shot a warning to the side about Indian skipper Rohit Sharma on turning pitches

Former England spinner Monty Panesar shot a warning about Indian skipper Rohit Sharma ahead of the five-match IND vs ENG Tests. England will take on India in a grueling series which will put their players to test in the sub-continental conditions.

IND vs ENG: ‘Rohit Sharma’s record unbelievable’

In an interview with Hindustan Times, Panesar called Sharma the ‘Don Bradman of turning pitches’, noting that the Indian opener was the key man for India. Noting that Indian batsman are attacking against the turning ball, the former spinner said that the Hitman’s record was unbelievable and that England would have to try and get rid of him early.

“Indian batters are attacking against the turning ball. They are a bit more fearless. The key man for India is going to be Rohit Sharma. He’s the Don Bradman of turning pitches. His record is unbelievable. England have to get Rohit out early right through to have a chance of winning the Test series,” Panesar said.

Panesar added that if the visitors could manage to keep Sharma quiet, then India would move to ‘Plan B’, which would involve putting pressure on youngsters.

The five-match series will start off with the 1st Test in Hyderabad from January 25.
