New Delhi: In the last ODI against Australia, Team India made a change in the batting lineup. Akshar Patel was sent to bat at number five above Suryakumar. Regarding this, Rohit said, ‘When Rahul and Kohli were batting, Australia had put a leg-spinner and a left-arm spinner. Surya was originally supposed to come in to bat at number five but we felt the ball was taking some turn and we didn’t want our right-handed batsman to be in trouble on that and so we brought in left-handed Akshar to bat. Sent.’
However, sending Akshar to number five did not work and he was run out after scoring only two runs. Rohit also defended the team management’s decision to have three spinners in the playing XI and said that Axar’s presence would have strengthened the batting. He said, ‘We talked about strengthening our batting in the lower order and so we played with three spinners. Looking at the wicket, I believed that it would be right to play with three spinners on it.
Rohit also said that he was not unaware of the circumstances and it was about adjusting to them. He said, ‘Nine matches are enough to analyze what we did wrong and what we did well. We have played consistent cricket till this series. So from the last two matches, we can understand what we need to do as a team against a strong opponent. There are definitely a lot of things to look at.
The Indian captain said, ‘It is important to understand and adjust to pitches that take a little turn to score runs. Obviously, whatever the pitch may be, at the end of the day you have to score runs.
