"When he was playing the big shots, he was losing shape"- Sanjay Manrekar on Rohit Sharma's lean form ahead of 4th IND vs AUS Test BGT 2024-25

Former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar recently analyzed Rohit Sharma's batting struggles ahead of the Boxing Day Test against Australia. In his last 13 Test innings, Rohit scored only 152 runs at an average of 11.69, including a solitary half-century.

Speaking on ESPNcricinfo, Sanjay Manjrekar advised Rohit to shed his aggressive approach against high-quality Australian bowlers. He believes it has not paid him much dividends over the past few months in Tests. Manjrekar said:

"He has got that big game. But in a Test match in Australia with the kind of bowlers he is contended with, all bowling superbly, it is not easy to take those guys on because his shots are really high-risk shots. He tried that in the home series against New Zealand as well, just to put the bowlers off but got out playing the attacking shot. "

He continued:

"The other thing I noticed was during the T20I century against Afghanistan ( earlier in the year). I saw for the first time in his entire career as a white-ball batter, when he was playing the big shots, he was losing shape."

"Though the ball was going into the stands, still you never see Rohit Sharma losing shape or balance. And that was starting to happen then so I just believe that has also contributed to his defence and attacking game as well - that sturdiness he has as a foundation to his batting."
