"He's had Virat coming in behind him"- Aaron Finch on Rohit Sharma's aggressive approach ahead of IPL 2025

Former Australia captain Aaron Finch recently analyzed Rohit Sharma's aggressive batting approach in white-ball cricket. He pointed out that Sharma does it because of Virat Kohli's presence in the lineup below. Kohli can rescue the team from tricky positions. In an interview with PTI, Finch said (via Hindustan Times):

"When you look, when Rohit's made that conscious decision, he's had Virat coming in behind him at number three. So there's an ability for him to say, you know what, I've got the guy behind that will fix any mistakes that I make. But you can't have everybody in the team just looking to swing for the fences from ball one. So that's a really, that's a good question."

He continued:

"And I understand that Rohit's done that, and he's been very successful in doing it. Maybe if his (Kohli) strike rate goes from 140 to 150, he can absolutely do that. No issues whatsoever. But how many times has he been in a situation where he's had to almost dig RCB out of the hole because everybody else has fallen around him?"
