Rohit had a poor Test tour of Australia, and his lean run continued when he was dismissed for just two in the ODI series opener against England at Nagpur.<p>\u201cSee, I personally don\u2019t think there is any problem. In the last three One-dayers (before the series opener in Nagpur), Rohit scored 56, 64, and 35 (against Sri Lanka last year), nearly averaging 50-plus. We are talking about a player who has got 31 ODI hundreds. When he keeps scoring runs in back-to-back matches, nobody asks, \u2018When will he fail?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cSometimes when somebody gets out or is going through a lean patch, I don\u2019t think I would be worried about their form. Yes, in the Australia Test series \u2013 that was a tough time. About the One-dayers, the way he batted in the last three One-days before the first match (in Nagpur), he has always been scoring runs. So, not really so much concern about that,\u201d said Kotak in the pre-match press conference ahead of the second ODI happening in Cuttack on Sunday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In their chase of 249 in Nagpur, India lost two wickets early before Shubman\u2019s 96-ball 87 along with fifties from Shreyas Iyer and Axar Patel got them over the line in 38.4 overs. Kotak didn\u2019t see much of an issue in India losing their openers early in the chase at Nagpur, where they took a 1-0 lead in the three-match ODI series. \u201c(Shubman) Gill, Shreyas (Iyer) and Axar (Patel) batted really well. You are going to lose some wickets, whether it\u2019s openers or middle-order. As a batting unit or as a team, there were a lot of positives \u2013 the way we batted, the way we showed our intent,\u201d he signed off.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cSometimes when somebody gets out or is going through a lean patch, I don\u2019t think I would be worried about their form.
