Rohit Sharma furious on New York pitch
After the match, Rohit said, “New ground, new venue and we wanted to see what it feels like to play here. I think the pitch has not settled yet and was helping the bowlers a lot. In such a situation, it was important to stick to our basics and remember Test match bowling.”
We will make changes according to the needs of the team
Praising Arshdeep Singh’s bowling, Rohit Sharma said, “Arshdeep is adept at creating rhythm by swinging the ball in front of right-handed batsmen. I don’t think four spinners can be fielded on such a ground. If the conditions are favorable to the fast bowlers, then only they will play. The spinners will do their job later in the tournament. We will make changes according to the needs of the team.”
