2nd Test: Rohit Set The Tone By Stepping Out Aggressively Right From First Ball, Says Ashwin

ICC World Test Championship: Adjudged Player of the Series, Ravichandran Ashwin shed light on how Rohit Sharma's decisive leadership played a pivotal role in the win, which helped India secure a record-extending 18th home series victory and strengthen their position at the top of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) table with 74.24 percentage points.

India's emphatic seven-wicket victory over Bangladesh in the second Test at Green Park Stadium, Kanpur, marred by rain interruptions that cost over 200 overs of play, saw both teams battling against time to force a result. However, despite losing crucial time on the second and third days, India’s aggression and determination to push for victory never wavered.

Speaking after the match, Ashwin highlighted the importance of Rohit Sharma's bold tactical decisions, which set the foundation for India’s win. "Winning this game was important for us," Ashwin remarked. "It was a massive win in the context of the WTC. Rohit was keen that we needed at least 80 overs to bowl at them. He said even if we get bowled out for 230, it's okay. He set the tone by stepping out aggressively right from the first ball."
