‘Serious effect’ on Rohit’s team, bowling coach made it clear – now top order batsmen will also do it…


New Delhi/Colombo. Rohit Sharma has returned to Team India and has taken over the captaincy. he/she has returned to the team after a month’s break. Call it the effect of the break or the coach Gautam Gambhir effect, but some difference is visible in Rohit Sharma’s captaincy. Rohit Sharma made Shubman Gill bowl in the first ODI against Sri Lanka. This was only the second time in Shubman’s ODI career that he/she bowled in an ODI match.

After the India-Sri Lanka ODI match, bowling coach Sairaj Bahutule indicated that India will continue to give bowling opportunities to its top order batsmen. By doing this, India can surprise the batsmen of the opposing teams. Shubman Gill bowled one over against Sri Lanka and gave 14 runs. Sairaj Bahutule said after the match, ‘Honestly, I think our batsmen are also good bowlers. Their main job is batting. That’s why many times they do not pay attention to their bowling. But they have the skill of bowling.’

Sairaj Bahutule gave the example of the T20 series played against Sri Lanka. he/she said, ‘You must have seen the T20 series. Rinku Singh and Suryakumar Yadav bowled in that. Similarly, Shubman was given a chance here. In the coming days, the importance of all-rounders is going to increase in this game. If one or two (batsmen) can bowl from the top order, then the team will be helped. But all this will depend on the condition and circumstances of the pitch.’

Like India, Sri Lanka also adopted the strategy of bowling through its main batsmen. Its captain Charith Aslanka bowled 8.5 overs and took three wickets. This included the wickets of Shivam Dubey and Arshdeep Singh on consecutive balls, which helped his/her team tie the match. (input language)
