The India National Cricket Team kicked off the ongoing three-match ODI series with a thrilling six-wicket win over England, but Rohit Sharma's poor outing with the bat has raised questions over his place in the team. Rohit Sharma could score only 11 runs in the first ODI at Edgbaston, and now all eyes are on how he performs in the second match at Cardiff on July 16.
Former Indian assistant coach Abhishek Nayar believes that Rohit will not take that dismissal lightly. He faced 21 balls before trying to play an attacking shot against Sam Curran, and he had to walk off the field after scoring just 11 runs in the first ODI against England. Amid this, Aakash Chopra identifies Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma's biggest problem before 2027 World Cup.
Ahead of the second ODI in Cardiff, Abhishek Nayar shared that Rohit Sharma is the kind of player who always studies his own game after a bad innings. He also revealed that his close friend regularly watches videos of his batting to understand where he went wrong.
He feels Rohit Sharma would have gone back after the match, looked at his innings carefully, understood his mistake, and started preparing a better plan for the next game.
Nayar said that the biggest lesson for Rohit would be to give himself more time at the crease. He believes that if Rohit can safely get through the spells of Jofra Archer and Josh Tongue, he can easily score runs later in the innings in the ongoing three-match ODI series. Amid this, Ravindra Jadeja doubtful for 2027 World Cup amid Axar Patel's rise.
Shubman Gill's approach could help Rohit Sharma in Cardiff!!
Abhishek Nayar said on JioHotStar’s ‘Game Plan’ show: “He will be disappointed with the way he got out. There will be reflection. He would go to the room and think about it. He watches a lot of videos, so he will watch his videos. He will pay attention to his mindset. If he had seen the T20 series and after playing this game, one thing he would have realized is that you have to give yourself time.”
He further explained, “You will have to play out the four or five overs of Jofra Archer and Josh Tongue. Once you get past that, things get easier. You will have to search for opportunities against Sam Curran. Going over the top using your feet may not be the right tactical move. If he had watched Shubman Gill attentively, more runs would have been scored square of the wicket.”
Abhishek Nayar breaks down exactly how Jofra Archer outfoxed Virat Kohli
The former India coach also spoke about Virat Kohli's dismissal in the first ODI. Kohli was beaten by a brilliant delivery from Jofra Archer after the England fast bowler changed his length cleverly.
Nayar feels Archer's delivery was simply too good. He said Kohli's batting position was correct, and there was nothing wrong with his footwork or balance.
The former Indian cricketer noted that the England fast bowler started with a shorter ball, misdirected that ball, and the follow-up ball was very different.
And then the late seam movement on the fast delivery made it very difficult to defend, and that’s why Archer managed to break through Kohli's defense.
Nayar signed off by saying, “Because of the seam that Jofra Archer had, that's where that X-factor was, and that is why he could actually go through Virat Kohli's defense. He gets out on the outside edge. Someone dismisses Virat Kohli rarely on the inside edge.”
