"Rohit Sharma's captaincy was not up to the mark in the 1st Test"- Irfan Pathan ahead of second India vs England Test
Former Indian bowling all-rounder Irfan Pathan recently opined that Rohit Sharma was not at his best as a leader in the first Test against England.
He pointed out the mistakes the Team India players committed in the Hyderabad Test. He expressed confidence that they will learn from them and perform well in the second Test. During an interview with Sports Today, Pathan said:
"Rohit Sharma's captaincy was not up to the mark in the 1st Test. There were a few players who were set; they could have looked to convert those starts into big scores. Our bowling could also have been better.
"However, I am confident that Rohit Sharma's captaincy will be brilliant in the next match and we will make a comeback, despite the fact that we have a lot of problems with some of our key players being injured."
He remained confident about hosts' chances of winning the series and added:
"My prediction had always been 4-1 or 4-0 in India's favour. So, they have already won that one match. England is a very strong opponent, and every team comes to India well-prepared and with the hope of winning. Their approach to playing Test cricket has also been very good."
