Rohit Sharma’s return to Test cricket as an opener was one of the biggest success stories in Indian cricket in 2019. Rohit has been a force to reckon with in limited overs cricket but his Test career has been a stop and start one. Former England captain Nasser Hussain, known for his sharp analysis as a cricket pundit, said that Rohit Sharma is suited for the job.
“If Rohit Sharma is not a Test match opener, I’ve been watching a different game…If you go and ask fellow cricketers who your favourite player is, a lot of them will say, Rohit Sharma. Fellow cricketers watch Rohit Sharma and say this bloke seems to have so much time to bat,” Nasser said in a chat show on Sony Ten’s ‘Pit Stop’.
Hussain gave the example of India captain Virat Kohli to explain how a batsman needs to make changes to their game in order to fit into Test cricket and excel.
