IND vs ENG: Opener Rohit Sharma May Be Under Pressure To Perform

By IANS News February 13, 2021 • 09:43 AM View: 2668

Though India skipper Virat Kohli had confirmed prior to the first Test that both Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill would be persisted with throughout the series, the former is likely to be under pressure when India take on England in the second Test at the MA Chidambaram Stadium from Saturday.

Sharma, the senior of the two openers, did well in 2019 when he was promoted up the batting order to open in Visakhapatnam against South Africa. He scored 176, 127, 14, 212, 6, and 21 for a total of 556 runs at an average of 92.66 and all those runs came at home.
