Eyes are deceiving, is that why Virat-Rohit are losing the chance to score runs?

New Delhi. Without proper hand and eye coordination, you cannot become a great batsman. With increasing age, reflexes and eye and hand coordination start getting affected, which has a direct impact on your batting. The way Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma were out in the last 9 Test innings, apart from their being out of form, questions are also being raised about whether their hand and eye coordination has slowed down due to their increasing age. Is happening.

Former cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar, who was commentating in the Pune Test, even said that Virat is not able to pick up the length of the ball due to which he/she is getting out by making the same mistakes continuously. Be it Virat or Rohit, the way both the batsmen are getting out in the home series, it is natural to raise questions. If you carefully analyze the pattern of dismissals of Virat and Rohit in the last 8 innings, you will find that their failure has started simultaneously, which cannot be called a coincidence. Rohit is currently 37 years old and Virat is 36 years old. This is the same stage of age from where a batsman can feel the changes taking place in himself.

Are weak eyesight the reason for bad form?

It is not easy to decide before the blink of an eye whether to play a shot, defend or leave the ball. That means you react in batting according to what catches your eye. The failure of Rohit Sharma and Virat or rather not being able to judge the length started from the series against Bangladesh, which continues till date. Virat has scored 275 runs in the last 8 innings at an average of 26.7 and is yet to reach his/her century. Also waiting. Captain Rohit’s condition is similar but even worse. Rohit has also scored a total of 101 runs in 8 innings. Both the batsmen have scored only one half-century each during this period. Eye and hand coordination is very important for any top order batsman. The biggest example is Virender Sehwag, whose eyesight became weak and its effect on his/her batting became visible.

Virat and Rohit not being able to play on slow and low pitch is an alarm bell for India because this year Team India has to face Australia in the next leg of the final of the WTC Championship on their own ground where they have the right hand and eye to bat on fast pitches. Coordination is needed, preparation for which seems incomplete at present.
