Pragyan Ojha About Rohit Sharma
Former Indian spinner Pragyan Ojha has recently praised Rohit for his capabilities and using the bowlers well in the 2nd ODI win at Ahmedabad.
Rohit Sharma Planned Really Well – Pragyan Ojha
In a recent interview, talking Rohit Sharma he said – “See, every captain does the planning part but there’s also a luck factor involved – whichever bowler he asked to bowl, did well and got him wickets. But I don’t want to take away anything from him. He planned really well and everything just strung together nicely for him.”
He also added – “You need to challenge the batsmen sometimes. The way he did that with [Odean] Smith by bringing in [Yuzvendra] Chahal and asking him to bowl slowly outside off-stump. It’s nice to see a captain encouraging his bowlers to play old-school cricket,”
Rohit Sharma has clever strategies when it comes to bowling changes – He has used each and every bowler to the best and removed the attacking batsmen as early as possible.
Prasidh was brought in during the 8th over, where he has picked the first 2 wickets at the very early stage of his spell, and during the 20th over, he has picked the wicket of dangerous N Pooran. Later he picked the wicket of Roach and completed his four-wicket haul.
He has concluded by saying – “These small things matter a lot to bowlers and their confidence. The same Chahal was looking muddled a few years ago but now the clarity in his thoughts is tangible,”
Team India is all gearing up to face the West Indies in the 3rd and final ODI game on 11th Feb 2022.
