IND vs PAK: "No Need For Rohit Sharma To Go Faster"- Ex-Proteas all-rounder Lance Klusener

Rohit Sharma will have a task cut out as he gets ready to marshall the Men in Blue in the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup 2022. India play their tournament opener against Pakistan on October 23 at the Melbourne Stadium.

With the showpiece event around the corner, pundits and cricket veterans have been sharing their views on what would be the best way to go to get success in the World Cup. Former South Africa all-rounder Lance Klusener while talking about India skipper opined that he should play his natural game.

Rohit Sharma should not be perturbed by a rough patch reckons Lance Klusener

“I’m not sure, whether he’s been told to play differently or whether it appears that, or the fact that possibly he hasn’t been as consistent as he would like in the last 25-30 games. But my advice to Rohit would be just to continue how he has been doing in the past,” Klusener said.

“There’s no need for him to go faster. He was playing easily fast enough, aggressive enough and well enough, not to have changed.”

Lance Klusener remarks that Rohit Sharma is a match-winner

“So if there has been, some sort of message to him or whatever it is, I think you need to be very careful, especially with your established match winners that role might need to go to somebody else if you’re looking to increase the run rate or take advantage of the power play.”

I think the way Rohit plays he’s a match-winner in that department and the way he goes about his things, and he’s proved that over many years as well. So possibly if they are looking to increase the run rate that does need to go to somebody else,” he added.
