He emphasized the importance of capitalizing on good form to secure substantial scores, suggesting that Rohit’s approach could have been more cautious given the match situation.
“Rohit Sharma had a chance to build a big innings today. He was looking in good touch and had already played some delightful shots. However, his dismissal was a result of over-aggression.
