Former Indian cricketer and star batsman VVS Laxman seems to be putting his money on Rohit Sharma as he believes the Indian opener will shine in the next Test match against Australia in Sydney, should he be a replacement for Mayank Agarwal in the playing XI.
Speaking exclusively on Star Sports’ show Cricket Connected, batting legend VVS Laxman weighs in on Rohit Sharma entering the side and how it changes the scheme of things as far as the playing XI is concerned, “Well, Yeah! Definitely one of the batsmen has to miss out, probably Rohit Sharma will come in place of Mayank Agarwal, because Rohit, since the South Africa series has been a regular opener he has a tremendous record, as an opening batsman. I think The Indian cricket team will be very pleased to have Rohit Sharma back, especially when Virat is not there, you want more experience in the Indian dressing room because now is the perfect opportunity for us to go 2-1 in Sydney and then probably win 3-1. Rohit Sharma himself would like to showcase his talent because I always feel that his style of batting and talent is very suited for the Australian wicket. So, if he gets his eye in, if he sees through the new ball, I’m sure that a big hundred is on the cards as far as Rohit’s batting is concerned.”
