Treating rohit

Treating Rohit: The abject surrender by the Indian batters in the second Test against New Zealand and the manner in which the two senior most batters -- Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma -- got out has invited a lot of criticism. Their failure to contribute a lot of runs is cause for concern, especially with India set to soon embark on a long tour of Australia next month.

However, the Indian team management is not overly concerned about the two great batters' twin failures and the team's assistant coach Abhishek Nayar said the two senior batters should be treated with more patience.

"I have myself been a top player and so when someone who's been through the journey goes through a lot, a lot of times it's about giving them their space and trusting that they will come back, they will put in the work. See everyone's worked really hard. Everyone wants to do well. Everyone, whether Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, or even someone else, the effort is there; the approach is great.
