T20 World Cup 2022: Rohit Sharma shouldn’t play the high-risk game – Dinesh Lad

Dinesh Lad, Rohit Sharma’s coach, believes the Indian captain shouldn’t play the high-risk game. As India has adopted an aggressive approach with the ball in the first six overs, Rohit mostly tries to take the attack to the bowlers from the get-go.

However, Rohit hasn’t been consistent in the recent past and Lad believes the right-hander should take his time in the early stage of his innings.

Rohit was dismissed after scoring only four runs in the big match against Pakistan at the MCG on Sunday but he didn’t play any aggressive shots in his short innings.

Rohit has been getting off to promising starts in the recent past but he hasn’t been able to convert them into substantial scores for the team.

“Yes, he is playing a high-risk game for quite some time now, which he should not. I have no idea why he is doing that. I think he is making a mistake in playing an overly aggressive game,” Lad told PTI in an interview on Wednesday.

“I feel he should spend more time on the crease and not throw his wicket away. I don’t want him to take chances in the first six overs of the powerplay. He should play his normal and natural game.

“He should try to play 17-18 overs and score around 70-80 runs in every match he plays,” Lad added.

Lad went on to add that he would want Rohit Sharma to play an anchor role and not take unnecessary risks.

“As his coach, I would like to see him as an anchor and not as a destroyer who plays high-risk games. If he stays on the wicket for some time, he will play long and useful innings.

“I advised him to stay on the crease and play sensibly. I always want him to lead from the front and contribute maximum towards India’s victory. But he is not getting the time as he is throwing his wickets away. “Sometimes he gets out cheaply playing rash shots and he has to face criticism for that.”

Rohit will look to give a good start to India in the upcoming matches and he is going to hold the key at the top of the order.
