Former assistant coach of the Indian cricket team, Abhishek Nair has said that Rohit Sharma’s inning of 73 runs in Adelaide in the second ODI against Australia will give him great satisfaction.
“As a player, you may forget some of your big centuries or double centuries, but there are some innings that are always remembered, especially the ones where you had to work hard. Rohit Sharma may not remember this innings for the runs he scored, but he will personally get a lot of satisfaction from it. As a batsman, when you score runs in difficult situations, you feel in a different way,” Nair said on Geostar’s ‘Cricket Live’. One gets happiness, just like a bowler takes a wicket on a flat pitch.”
Nair said, “Rohit may be disappointed at not being able to score big, but deep inside he knows that he has worked hard for every run today. His patience and determination were worth seeing. This is what impresses me the most about this Indian team today. Even when it seemed that Australia would win easily, he continued to fight. Rohit embodied this spirit. Despite the difficult situation, whenever he got a loose ball, he took full advantage of it. “Intent and tenacity defined his innings.”
Rohit Sharma could score only 8 runs in the first ODI. After the first match, Abhishek Nair had said that Rohit will make a strong comeback in the next two matches. Rohit Sharma stood on the trust of Abhishek Nair and played an excellent inning of 73 runs. Rohit proved with his innings that he still has cricket left in him.
