'I Remember Telling Him...': Shastri Reveals Important Decision That Shaped Rohit's Test Career
The ICC Review: Former India head coach Ravi Shastri revealed an important decision during his coaching tenure that shaped the Test career of Rohit Sharma.
Rohit, who retired from Test cricket earlier this month, initially joined the Test team as a middle-order batter, but it was a suggestion from Shastri that led to his move to the top of the order—an adjustment that transformed him into a world-class opener, allowing him to make a bigger impact early in the innings.
In the early stages of his career, Rohit was primarily recognised as a white-ball specialist. However, Ravi Shastri’s decision to promote the hard-hitting batter to the top of the order in 2019 proved to be a turning point, as Rohit quickly flourished and revitalised his career in the longest format of the game.
