Reckoning the unnatural aggressive batting style of Rohit Sharma, Wasim Jaffer believes that the opener should not apply an extra attacking approach, which he applied in the 2024 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, where India claimed the trophy under the leadership of Rohit Sharma.
Rohit Sharma scored 48 runs from 39 balls with six boundaries and two maximums at a strike rate of 123.08 against Afghanistan at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow in the second of the three-match ODI series.
What will be Shubman Gill's batting position?
In Lucknow, India captain Shubman Gill was named as the best player of the match for his masterful 154 runs off 110 balls. As Yashasvi Jaiswal came to open the innings alongside Rohit Sharma, Gill demoted himself to number 3 and scored the mammoth knock.
Jaffer stated that Gill should retain his usual opening spot as soon as Virat Kohli joins the team. Kohli ruled out of the IND vs AFG ODI series because of a hamstring injury he received during the IPL 2026 final match.
No turning back for Ishan Kishan
Along with Shubman Gill, Ishan Kishan was the other batter who smashed a blistering century in Lucknow. The keeper-batter claimed 125 runs off just 79 balls with 14 fours and seven maximums at a strike rate of 158.23. The former cricketer pointed out that, since winning the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2025-26 as the captain of the Jharkhand cricket team, there is no turning back for the left-handed versatile batter.
"Ishan Kishan is at the top of his game. The way he led Jharkhand in the SMAT, he has not looked back at all after that. Every format and every opportunity, he is taking it with both hands. He is scoring runs easily and quickly. His offside game has improved. He has given the Indian team a good problem now. They have to think about him. How can they keep him out now? He is a revolution,” Wasim Jaffer continued in the same video.
