"There is a lot of skill, thought, and brilliance about his batting"- Nasser Hussain on Rohit Sharma
Former England captain Nasser Hussain analyzed Rohit Sharma's performance as captain and batter following India's 4-1 Test series victory against the visiting English team.
Hussain opined that people confuse Rohit as laidback in his approach and pointed out his adaptability and proactive decision-making. Speaking on Sky Sports, Nasser Hussain said:
"I think sometimes people confuse Rohit as a laidback cricketer who just lets the game drift. There is a lot of skill, thought, and brilliance about his batting. And I thought he had an excellent series as captain. He himself said in the press conference that he has had to learn and adapt his own style of captaincy at times."
Elaborating his point of view, Hussain added:
"Earlier on in the series, he didn't bowl (Ravi) Ashwin with the new ball. And (Ben) Duckett, sitting there and waiting with his nemesis Ashwin, would get to 60s-70s before Ashwin comes on. But Rohit learnt from something he wasn't getting right. In cricket, there is a grey area in there, and you do not get things right, sometimes."
