Former Australia pacer Brett Lee has come up with a piece of advice for Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, who have went through a slump in form in red-ball cricket this year.
Lee believes that both Rohit and Virat should take a step back and improve their techniques ahead of the upcoming 5-match series against Australia. He also said that poor batting performances can lead to the pressure mounting on the Indian duo.
“When you have a couple of bad runs back-to-back, that’s when the pressure could set in. I guess the thing now is someone like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma just have to go back to the drawing board. Work on that technique, freshen up, get away from cricket as much as they can and then hit the ground running when they go to Australia, because I can promise you – these Australian fast bowlers will attack Rohit Sharma with that brand new ball,” Lee said on his YouTube channel.
So far in 2024, both Rohit and Virat have struggled to find their best form, attracting scrutiny following India’s recent 0-3 series loss against New Zealand.
On one hand, Rohit has accumulated 588 runs in 11 Test matches so far this year, averaging 29.40 with 2 centuries and fifties each, while on the other, Virat has only managed to score 250 runs from 6 matches, averaging 22.72 with one half-century.
