India opener Rohit Sharma has a unique style of batting which, on most occasions, helps the team chase difficult targets or post decent totals. He does so elegantly but the aggressive strokeplay plays an important role too. The Mumbai batting stylist feels there is no harm in kids taking the aggressive route, something which city coaches frown upon at times.
Usually, coaches want kids to drive the ball along the carpet, which Rohit, 32, feels is incorrect. "There is no harm in playing big shots. As kids, when we played shots in the air, we were taken out of the nets, which I thought was not right," Rohit remarked on Thursday while speaking to reporters after interacting with young Rohit Sharma-CricKingdom Cricket Academy trainees at the Islam Gymkhana.
