There Will Be A Change In Our Approach - Rohit Sharma

Who would have expected that the Indian National Cricket Team will be under pressure while facing Bangladesh, especially, in home conditions? However, the new-look Bangladesh side has made it possible with a victory at Delhi on Sunday. Meanwhile, the Rohit Sharma-led side is looking for new ways to get the better of Bangladesh team.

Rohit Sharma-led Indian cricket team suffered a shocking 7-wicket defeat at the hands of Bangladesh in the first T20I played at the Arun Jaitley Cricket Stadium in Delhi. While the hosts entered as the hot favourites having never lost a match against Bangladesh in the shortest format. However, Bangladesh has punched above their weight.

Our approach will be different – Rohit Sharma

Speaking of the same, the skipper of India, Rohit Sharma quoted that there will be a definite change in the approach to the next game at Rajkot. Further, he added that the team will be decided based on the conditions of the pitch much like Delhi T20I.

“I cannot tell you strategy but what I can definitely tell you is that there will be changes in our approach. In the last match (in New Delhi), we played according to the pitch. We were playing as per the ways the pitch was reacting. But if the pitch here (at Rajkot) is good, our approach will be different as well in both bowling and batting (departments),” Rohit said during the press conference.

Batting department looks strong –

Further, the flamboyant batsman quoted that the batting department looks decent on the paper and would like to see the players delivering the goods as per the requirement. Most probably, there would be a change in the bowling department, however, Rohit Sharma wants to look at the pitch.

“Our batting looks good. So I don’t think there’s any change we need to make in our batting. But we’ll analyze the pitch, and based on that we’ll see what we can do as a team,” Rohit said at the pre-match press conference.

“The (pace-bowling) combination that we played in the last game, it was based on the pitch that was on offer in Delhi. We will see the pitch again today and we will think what we need to do in our bowling line-up,” Rohit said.

Well, it would be interesting to see how Rohit Sharma-led side tackles Bangladesh in the second T20I. The match will be played on Thursday at Saurashtra Cricket Association, Rajkot.
