 India will take a different approach, presumably a more attacking one, with the bat in case they are provided with a good batting surface, said Rohit Sharma ahead of the second T20I against Bangladesh in Rajkot. free cricket tips On a slow surface in Delhi where run-making wasn't easy, India struggled for momentum for a major part of the innings and posted 148 on the board and eventually lost the contest.
India's conservative approach with the bat at least at the start in T20 cricket has come under some criticism off late and Shikhar Dhawan's 42-ball 41 only ensured the calls for an aggressive approach grow louder. "We all love to play shots...but shot-making was not that easy," Rohit said on India's slow start in Delhi. "We have to assess and see what sort of score we want in the first six [overs] and then 7 to 15 and then the last 5 overs. We have to break it down like that. When you are playing on a pitch like that, you need to understand what will be the ideal score for you to defend. Of course that was the idea, and that's what the batsmen were trying to do. But if the pitch is good, you will see a different Team India approach tomorrow." Rohit brushed aside concerns regarding the pace department. Deepak Chahar and Khaleel Ahmed combined to give away 62 runs in seven overs and Shivam Dube conceded nine runs in the three deliveries he bowled right at the end. "Pressure is just on the team to perform, as simple as that, not a particular department," Rohit clarified. "You've lost as a team, you've not lost as a bowling unit. So the focus will be on the team. Collectively, all of us need to come together. match tips The batsmen need to get the job done, the bowlers need to come out and take those crucial wickets. That will be the idea." While India are leading the table in Tests and placed second only behind world champions England in ODIs, they languish at the fifth spot in the T20I rankings. With 12 months to go for the World Cup, India's form has been patchy in this format but Rohit isn't concerned considering the side has been experimenting with its combinations in the absence of some key names. "You need to understand that this is the format where we are trying a lot of players," Rohit pointed out. "The key players are not involved (in this series) so we are trying the younger players who are there in the lot, sitting on the fringe. Probably, that is one of the reasons to be honest, because in the other formats we have our entire squad playing the game." Citing his own career as an example, Rohit suggested that T20 is the go-to format to try out new players and get them ready for ODI and Test Cricket. Rohit first broke into India's T20 side 12 years ago winning the inaugural T20 World Cup before cementing his spot in the 50-over set-up few years later. "This is the format wherein these individuals can come out and express themselves, so that they are ready for ODI and Test cricket," Rohit said. "We have seen a lot of players who have emerged from this format who have gone on to play ODI and Test formats also. We want our bench strength to be as strong as possible. "We have to win, that is the first priority. But these guys will learn from it. That is how all of us, including myself and the other guys who started playing T20 format first and went on to play ODI and Test cricket. online betting tips I think that is how it happens and as I said we just want our bench strength to be very, very strong."Cricket Betting Tips Rohit himself has a milestone to look forward to in India's bid to square the series. The Indian opener will become just the second player to play 100 T20Is on Thursday. Currently going through a purple patch across all formats, the 32-year-old said the opportunity to represent the country keeps him going. "It does not matter which format you are playing," he observed. "At the end of the day it is all about going out there and doing your best. Formats will keep changing. "Right now I am playing T20, in a few weeks' time I will be playing Test cricket. What is important is that I am representing my country and I have to go out there and do my best. That is what keeps me going, knowing that I am one of 1.5 billion people who has the opportunity to represent the country. That is what will keep me going for the rest of my career."
