Rohit Sharma captained really well: Nick Knight

Nick Knight said on GeoCinema: “We talked about how baseball works. Now we are going to talk about how this does not work in adverse situations. I don’t think it was actually baseball. Actually, I think you have to give a lot of credit to the way India bowled. It was a great day for India. I think Rohit Sharma captained really well. Bowled tremendously from the heart from Mohammad Siraj.”

On England’s batting collapse, the former opening batsman said: “Where did England go wrong? It started in a way with the dismissal of Joe Root. I think England never fully recovered after Root’s wicket. Now India has become a little dominant over England.”

“India is a strong contender to win the Rajkot Test”

The cricket commentator further said that India is a strong contender to win the Rajkot Test, but England cannot be taken lightly due to their never-say-die attitude. Nick Knight concluded: “I think the one positive thing you have to take away from England is that no matter what situation they are in, never ignore them. You just probably have to learn from those mistakes. We are still going to see a great game here. But India is still the favorite to win this match.”
