Best Thing About Rohit's Knock Was Control While Playing The Ball Off The Backfoot: Parthiv Patel
After Rohit Sharma: After Rohit Sharma smashed his 11th Test century through a counter-attacking 131 against England on day one of the third Test at Rajkot, former wicketkeeper-batter Parthiv Patel was left in awe of how the Indian captain was in control of himself while playing shots off the backfoot.
India were reduced to 33/3 in the first 45 minutes of day one, before Rohit made 131 off 196 balls, hitting 14 fours and three sixes. He added 204 runs for the fourth wicket with Ravindra Jadeja to get India’s innings back on track.
“The best thing about the knock was Rohit’s control while playing the ball off the backfoot. The field was set for the lofted hit and he played with control and scored lots of runs playing the ball along the ground. He only committed one mistake, on the ball he got out to, where he played it in the air, otherwise it was a brilliant innings. What we are seeing with Rohit Sharma is that he is adapting to conditions beautifully,” said Patel in a conversation on ‘Match Centre Live’ on JioCinema and Sports18.
