Former India batsman Sanjay Manjrekar had some reservations about Rohit Sharma’s adroit move on day one of the second Test match against Bangladesh in Kanpur on FridayApril 25.
Former cricketer Manjrekar specifically took issue with the fact that Rohit did not use left-arm spin specialist Ravindra Jadeja against a left-handed batsman of the rival side.
It was residents who were watching first 35 overs played on a rainy day. The visiting team scored runs107 losing 3 wickets and moreover. this is humble Unbeaten in whole forty games.
In further thoughts about India’s approach with the ball, Sanjay Manjrekar opined that he thought it could have been done better. To further support his observation, he specifically turned to the social media site ‘X’ where he posted a string of irritating statistics.
“Boss Rohit show this stat 1st Jadeja vs Cook 2016 – 8 innings, 75 runs conceded, 6 wickets taken. All of these have been Graham Thorpe type rolls, sit back Copy: Pitch”. As left hander, Rohit in most cases in not able to get pitched ahead when bowling Lefties,” he wrote in the post.
Due to continuous rain, there was no play on the second day of the Test match and no bowling was done on the cover. The next day monsoon showers and cloudy weather affected the smooth progress of the play within Green Park Stadium.
After the rain stopped a little after 11:15 in the morning, ground crews used three super absorbers, but the visibility was still very poor.
Nevertheless, the situation did not get any better, and the official game was called off the next day at 2:15pm.
On Sunday, further rain will come, and mostly sunny and warm weather it appears on Monday and Tuesday. Considering these factors, the game is likely to end in a stalemate.
