New Delhi: Former Indian cricketer dismissed after India’s disappointing defeat in Adelaide Atul Wasan Fixed star batsman’s inconsistent form Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohliemphasizing the need for consistent performance. He noted that while expectations for them haven’t changed, relying on past accolades will only make the pair more challenged as they age.
Vasan also expressed his view that batting Rohit at No. 6 was a wrong decision.

Vasan criticized the decision to relegate Rohit, calling it a “tactical mistake” as he has proven capable of succeeding in Australian conditions.
Rohit comes into the match with an excellent record as a middle-order batsman, averaging over 43 in 25 Tests with 3 hundreds and 6 fifties. However, he failed to build on this solid foundation and struggled to make an impact in the industry. adelaide test.
“Now I think it was a mistake for Rohit Sharma not to open. I think it was. Because of his mentality, his mentality is not that of a middle-order batsman. But KL (Rahul) has the ability to bowl up and down the ball. I To think it was a tactical mistake, regardless of the way he plays, the way he shoots, the way he competes, it just doesn’t work. Australiahe’s more likely to play. More likely to succeed. The mistake he made in the New Zealand series was that he tried to fight the tide in his own natural way. It was a bit difficult relative to how the game went. Because now it’s six innings (against New Zealand). Now he has gone there. Now it’s game 2. So there will be a little pressure. But I think he should come back. Just use your potential, abilities and talents. We’re all going to be fine,” Vasan added.
