“Let’s put him under pressure”: Ravi Shastri revealed how Rohit was made a Test opener

Former India coach Ravi Shastri made a trip under the memory lane and reminded how Rohit Sharma was decided to convert one of the most destructive openers in the test format. While Rohit has been a modern-day great in the white-core format, his journey in Test cricket is full of patience, disturbance and perseverance. Since his debut in 2013, the former Test skipper converted into various positions in mid -order before Ravi Shastri was promoted as a nominated opener in 2019, who served as India’s head coach during that phase.
Power-Hetler’s promotion at the top immediately paid dividends as he took the first step towards ending the longest format of cricket, marking the beginning of a new chapter in his career.
“Batting in four, five, this man was bored. Then I started focusing on this fact, why is he so successful in a day’s cricket? He likes to stay out quickly. I said, if he can go out and do so, he got enough time to play Quick,” Shastri recalled during the latest episode of ICC review.
He said, “He has got shots against Quick, to pick them up. The ground is up, so cricket’s Test cricket can be a honeymoon for him if he starts hugging it,” he said.
For the first time, it was thought to move Rohit to the opening slot in the Test that Shastri’s mind was crossed during the ICC Mains Cricket World Cup in 2019. Rohit dazzled in the tournament, killed beautifully, broke the five centuries, and ended the tournament, which is a staging with 648 runs.
On his first appearance as a test opener, Rohit came out with an ambition to provide a bang and distributed him with his impeccable swagger. He visited the twin centuries against South Africa and went from that point to rack nine out of his 12 Test tons.
“He batted enough at five and six, and he was not here and he was not there. He would throw his 20 or 30s and throw him. (I thought he put him under pressure and sent him (order). While, but, he was fine,” Shastri said.
“Then he came for the first Test match, and he opened the innings, and he got a hundred. If I am not wrong, he found a big 100 in that first innings, and then he did not look back because he seemed to enjoy it,” he continued.
“They discovered this, and what I should say, he works a lot on his technology because I felt his best batting in England, where you really got to play a little differently, and especially they had to play with soft hands and (left the ball) a lot.
Rohit said in the test format last week, “finished his magnificent career with 4,301 runs, on an average of 40.57, 12 centuries in 12 centuries and 18 half -centuries in 67 tests.

England rioted against Zimbabwe as the top three hits hundreds

The top three of England’s Zak Croly, Ben Docket and Oli Pope made hundreds as they piled up for a helpless Zimbabwe in a four-day Test in Nottingham on Thursday. On the first day at Trent Bridge, one was a completely prominent England for three in stumps, not better than the run-a-ball at the top with 169 after the number three Pope. England scored around 500 runs in a day, with the Pope’s fourth score of over 150, emphasized the Gulf among the sides in the first Test of Zimbabwe in England in 22 years.
Left-Hander Docket led the initial run-school with 140 at his Nottinghamshire Home Ground and the opening partner Croli made 124.
In December 2022, three figures of the same trio against Pakistan did not reach Rawalpindi, so the top three of England had made hundreds of the initial days of a test.
After the century of Croly, he managed to score just 212 runs in his last eight tests at an average of just 15.14.
Crowley told Sky Sports after stumps, “He did so with Ben, I did not feel pressure, and Popi did the same.”
The score of Kent batsman’s first panties in the county championship is 1, 0, 1 and 6 so far this season.
“You know that you are under pressure and you want to score,” Croley said in 54 tests just after the fifth century.
“It is good to find some rhythms. The wicket is not as easy for Kent and I have felt in good touch for a few months.”
But all three hundreds of Thursdays were created against the Zimbabwe’s attack, which had very little relationship with the steric challenges waiting for England in the upcoming five-observance chains at home before going to Australia at the end of this year.
Nagrawa injury
Zimbabwe was more disabled when Richard Narva, of course, got out of the field shortly after lunch by holding his back and haemstring while chasing a ball, a ball for 42 in nine overs.
Ngarava returned late in the final session, but did not bowl again before leaving the field.
Earlier, Zimbabwe’s captain Craig Erwin won the toss and fielded in the hope that his attack could use a cloud cover over the Trent Bridge, which is a land famous for supporting the pamen.
His decision was more understandable by a young joint county side in his loan warm-up match last week, seeing Zimbabwe’s 138-run thrashing.
But when the four Quick of Zimbabwe got sometimes to distract the ball rapidly, he also over-picked up and bowled very little.
The aggressive Docket completed 100 balls properly before pulling Tanaka Chivanga, with 12 wicket -free overs cost expensive 83 runs, for six.
Docket, however, got out in familiar fashion.
Through the cover for four, spinner Vesley thrashed the first ball of Madhavre and pulled the next for six, Duckele chose Tamley to cover the third.
England were 231тАУ1 after Docket and Croley put their first three-Akkara opening partnership since Ireland put at 109 against Ireland in 2023.
After a trademark cover four, Crolya rushed him to 98, including 12 borders in a century of 145 balls.
But after suffering whatever cramps were confronted, Crolly LBW tried to sweep spinner Sikander Raza for the pleasure of a small but soluble band of Zimbabwe’s supporters.
The Pope forced Raza for his 14th four in 109 balls as he raised his record by becoming the first batsman to score hundreds of his first eight Tests against different opponents.
So the commanding England were that when the lead batsman Joe Root closed Mujrabani (one for 111 out of 20 overs), who blessed Pesiman for 34, made a little difference.
England captain Ben Stokes, listed to bat the next, is returning to cricket this week after the long rehabilitation of all -rounders with his latest hamstring tears.

After defeating Lucknow Super Giants, defeated Gujarat Titans in IPL 2025 points table

Titans of Gujarat messed up on a golden occasion to seal a top two locations in the league table as Lucknow Super veterans won a consolation 33 runs at the first hundred of Mitchell Marsh in the Indian Premier League on Thursday. Batting first, Marsha’s brilliant 117 runs from 64 balls LSG to 2 overs to 235 after determining 20 overs. The total commanding was doing and the LSG performed sufficiently to keep the home team in the Gulf, limiting them to 202 to 202 in 20 overs. New Josender Will O’Rurke, who has come as a replacement of Mayank Yadav, was with 3 figures for the bowlers’ pick 27 for LSG.
The GT topped the top of the 13 matches with 18 points, while the LSG was already abolished, which was in the sixth position from seventh. He has 12 points out of 13 matches.

Shah Rukh Khan (57 in 29 balls) scared LSG with some Lasty Blow, but it was not enough in the end despite a stand of 86 runs with Sherfen Rutherford for the fourth wicket in only 6.4 overs.
GT, who has already qualified for the playoffs, could take a huge jump towards the top two finish by ensuring 20 points. They will now try to win the previous match and give themselves the best opportunity to finish the top two of the league table, both Pujb Kings and RCB will also have a proper shot in the position of pole. The chase of 236 began in Bayana with B Sai Sudarshan (21 runs off 16 balls) and Skipar Shubman Gill (35 balls off 20 balls) with some crisp borders with a crushing borders.
However, Sudarshan, the current top run of the league, did not change the beginning and Gill was stripped brilliantly by Abdul Samad despite his small hand drawn.
It was Jose Butler (33 runs in 18 balls), who had hit a few sixes, but left -handed fast bowler Akash Singh, who divided his right hand Buddha, released a floating delivery, which broke the British defense.
At the point that Shah Rukh and Rutherford (38) joined the forces and the goal that seemed impossible until then suddenly appeared gati.
LSG bowler, especially India Test expert Akash Deep and his state team colleague Shahbaz Ahmed scored runs. LSG’s ground fielding also did not even have a mark.
Shah Rukh, who has a reputation in domestic cricket for Tamil Nadu, has not been able to convert his ability into a significant knock over the years.
However, during the day, he held his shape and punished pacers and spinners equally, but the target was too much at the end. In the first innings, it was Marsh’s first IPL century to come late a tifle, but became the foundation stone of the LSG imposed score.
Marsh, who has already scored five half centuries in this season, was slow with blocks, but then musk to Titans bowlers with great gusto as they hit 10 fours and eight maximum in their 64 -gent -117.
Since it has been a familiar story this season, LSG saw a separate batting unit with its top three batsmen, Eden Markram (36 off 24 balls) and Merchakurial Nicholas Gariban (56 not out from 27 balls), belting Titans Bowling Unit Clade in Lavender Jersey.
The fifth half century of the season came off only 23 balls.
Marsh and Markram added 91 pairs for the opening stand in Front 10 and Gorn, ‘Bison’ added another 12 and 121 runs to his team for the second wicket in just 8.3 overs.
All LSG batsmen killed 17 sixes, which is their highest in the IPL match.
The best thing about Marsh’s hits was that their long liver was used to hit both the wicket straight and square. After completing his hundred, the contempt with which he sent a hard length delivery from Purple Cap holder Prasad Krishna to a deep mid-viccity stand was a complete treatment.
If this was not enough, Marsh’s eighth six came away from the next delivery as he changed the room slightly towards the leg-stump and dropped Prasad down the ground.
Marsh’s centenary came off 56 balls and was extraordinaryly on left -handed spinner R Sai Kishore, who otherwise was latest in the tournament. PTI KHS SSC SSC
