'Rohit Will Have To Come Up With A Plan To Counter Curran,' Says Nayar Ahead Of Lord's Decider
New Delhi: With the three-match ODI series between India and England locked at 1-1, former India assistant coach Abhishek Nayar has backed Rohit Sharma to make tactical adjustments against pace all-rounder Sam Curran in the series decider at Lord's while insisting that the Indian captain's strike rate is not a cause for concern.
Speaking ahead of the final ODI, Nayar analysed Rohit's approach in English conditions, the challenge posed by Curran, and the importance of adapting to the demands of the surface rather than chasing scoring rates. He believes the contest between Rohit and Curran could once again shape the early phase of India's innings after the left-arm seamer kept the opener under pressure in the previous match.
“Rohit Sharma will 100 per cent have to come up with a plan to counter Sam Curran. In the first ODI, he stepped out and tried to attack him. In the last match, he played a maiden over against Curran, which is very unlike Rohit. So, you will see a tactical change. Maybe he will play deep in the crease or stand outside the off stump. In the last game, he was expecting the ball to come in, but it kept moving away.
