Naseer Hussain on Rohit Sharma’s captaincy: ‘He’s not the 60 overs of hell kind of captain’

[ad_1] India has recently won the five-match Test series against England 4-1. After losing the first Test in Hyderabad the hosts were under pressure in the absence of big names for the Vizag Test. However, Rohit Sharma’s on-field and off-field leadership shone through in blooding the youngsters into the side and tactically suppressing the ‘Bazball’ approach of the visitors at the same time. Rohit seemed to be a lot more relaxed on the field compared to his predecessor Virat Kohli who never shied away from displaying his emotions on-field. Former England cricketer Nasser Hussain would recall India’s famous win in 2021 under Kohli in Lords when India managed to bowl out England in 60 overs to force a result and take the lead in the series. “Don’t confuse (Rohit with Virat’s captaincy) be...

[ad_1] The margin of defeat was definitive. 4-1. The aura felt gone. The Bazballers had arrived on these shores touted as serious foes. But eight weeks later, they shared the same fate as any other Test side to visit India over the past decade. But was it enough to sway away the believers of Bazball? Not so soon. “From a fan perspective. I love it,” Simon Finch, The Barmy Army’s lead trumpeter since 2020, tells The Indian Express. “Before Stokes and McCullum, we won only one game out of 17. England are a much-improved side and I think they will continue to improve, and no matter what, we will be there supporting them.” But while Finch’s Bollywood renditions at Indian venues may have been a big hit, England’s cricket was anything but. “It’s wanting to be a better player,” captain Ben Stok...
