Sanjay Manjrekar said on ESPNcricinfo at the end of the first day’s play of the Rajkot Test: “Rohit Sharma knew this was the innings where he had to score a big score, not just 20-30 runs. When India lost 3 wickets, the responsibility of staying in the field increased even more on him. Rohit took chances many times and was lucky that Joe Root, deployed in the slips, dropped his catch. “Rohit restrained himself from being aggressive.” The cricket commentator further added, “But after that Rohit Sharma went back to the traditional way of mental toughness and that was really quite commendable. Ben Stokes had the ground and set a brilliant field, but Rohit restrained himself from being aggressive, which is his natural game. He and Ravindra Jadeja understood what was important in this situation.”
