England vs India 2nd Test | Rohit needs to be a little more selective with his shots: Vikram Rathour

India’s batting coach Vikram Rathor said on Sunday Rohit Sharma The opener needed to be “a bit more selective” with his shots after the opener fell on a pull shot for the second time in the Test series against England.

India were 181/6 in their second innings when the stumps were drawn on the fourth day, taking a lead of 154 runs.

According to Rathore, Captain Virat Kohli, who was dismissed at 20, was undone by a lapse in concentration.

Rathore said that the team needs to set a target close to 200 runs.

“You are right, it will be a typical fifth day wicket of a Test match, where the ball will go up and down and turn, as we have seen. So, as I said earlier, it won’t be easy for England if we get close to 200.

“Like (Ravindra) Jadeja bowled in the first innings, he was accurate, if he gets the turn from there, he can cause problems for the batsmen, and our pace attack is bowling well.

“If the ball stays up and down, as we are seeing, when the ball is tough, then, if we can add 30-40 runs and get England’s first 1-2 wickets, then the pressure on them will be,” he said. added.
