Rohit Sharma Reveals How Impatient His Bowlers Get When They Are Close To A Milestone

The Indian cricket team started the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2023 with a bang as it crushed the Australian side in the first test match and won it by an innings and 132 runs. Rohit Sharma, the Indian skipper led from the front as he scored a century (120) in India’s first innings and helped his team in posting a good total of 400 runs on the score board.

The Indian spinners dominated the match which was played at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium, Nagpur, as in the first innings of Australia, Ravindra Jadeja (5/47) and Ravichandran Ashwin (3/42) took 8 wickets in total and in the second innings of the visitors, Ravichandran Ashwin (5/37) , Ravindra Jadeja (2/34) and Axar Patel (1/6) took 8 wickets together.

However, the Indian bowlers also create a little trouble for their skipper Rohit Sharma as they demand more overs from him because each one of them is hungry for wickets and for achieving new milestones as well. In an interaction with former Indian cricketer Irfan Pathan and others, Rohit Sharma revealed that all three spinners wanted to bowl from the end which was favoring them and it was not easy for him to manage their expectations. As per Rohit Sharma, he has experienced that doing captaincy of the Indian team is very tough and while having lunch, he only thinks how to manage the expectations of his bowlers.

Hitman further says that each one of them is near to achieving a milestone every day and while Jadeja asks for ball saying that he needs to take his 250^th wicket, Ashwin is close to touch the 450 mark, someone has to take a fifer, etc.

Rohit Sharma also talked about an ODI against Sri Lanka and said that the Sri Lankans were out for a low total and that day, Mohammed Siraj bowled 10 overs out of 22 overs because he had to take his fifth wicket. Rohit said that Siraj had taken 4 wickets, he kept on bowling continuously in order to take fifer and the skipper had to advise him to cool down as 4-match test series is coming up.

Here is the video of the interaction:
