The coach said this about Rohit
India batting coach Vikram Rathour said on Friday that Rohit Sharma had to work hard for his 120 against Australia as the pitch was not easy to hit and required special effort to score runs. Rohit’s century along with a half century from Ravindra Jadeja and Akshar Patel helped India take a 144-run lead in the first innings of the second day of the first Test cricket match.
Rathour said after the end of the day’s game, “It was a special tackle from Rohit and it was good to see him score runs. He showed good spirit and it was a very important tackle because it was not easy to bat at this ground. Rohit has played some brilliant innings since he started opening but his three centuries stand out, including 161 at Chennai, including a century at The Oval and a century in a slow pitch here on Friday.
Rohit’s Praise
Rathore said: “This is the specialty of his hitting. He scored runs on the fast bowls for England, but if we talk about his innings, he had to work hard to score runs. Usually Rohit gets runs easily after scoring a few runs early on, but here he had to work hard.
