Rohit Sharma’s captaincy was very average: Michael Vaughan

Michael Vaughan wrote in his column for The Telegraph: “I thought Rohit Sharma’s captaincy was very average. I think he was not that active, I don’t think he changed his field or was active with the changes in his bowling. Rohit Sharma had no answer to Ollie Pope’s sweep or reverse sweep. They had too much confidence in their bowlers and England’s batsmen took advantage of this.

“He will always hit boundaries”

The greatest spinner I have seen, Shane Warne, used to go around the wicket and ask the player to sweep down the leg side and say good luck doing that. I haven’t seen any of those things from the Indian side. It was all very easy. The way England plays, he will always hit boundaries. And by spreading the field, Sharma was basically saying that the best balls from his bowlers would still only go for singles.”
