Rohit Sharma set to for 1st T20
In a video posted by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on its official Twitter handle, Rohit was seen practicing in the nets. Rohit was seen working on the pull shots while he made use of the wrist to defend. Rohit was seen netting on both offside and onside as pace bowlers were at full swing.
Interestingly, there was no practice done on the spin bowlers as he focused on the pace bowlers which could be the need of the hour. WestIndies do have a fair amount of pace in them so Rohit was seen preparing for them.
