Virat, Rohit Will Come Back Stronger With Better Plans, Says Nayar

By IANS News October 19, 2025 • 19:48 PM View: 466

New Delhi: India’s senior batters Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli had forgettable returns to international cricket in the first ODI against Australia, but former India assistant coach Abhishek Nayar believes the duo will bounce back with stronger intent and smarter plans in the upcoming matches.

India suffered a seven-wicket defeat at the rain-marred series opener in Shubman Gill's maiden assignment as ODI captain, replacing Rohit.

Nayar analysed Rohit’s short stay at the crease and suggested that while his aggressive intent was visible, the conditions on the day didn’t quite suit his natural approach.
