Sehwag’s advice to Rohit on how to bat in England

TIL Desk Sports/ Opener Rohit Sharma countering Trent Boult’s incoming deliveries will make for a fascinating contest, something that Virender Sehwag will be looking forward to during the ICC World Test Championship final between India and New Zealand, starting in Southampton on June 18.

Sehwag, who redefined the art of opening batting in Test cricket, believes that Rohit’s qualities and recent form at the top of the order certainly makes him a candidate to succeed during the six Test matches in UK this summer, including five against England.

“No doubt Trent Boult-Tim Southee combination will pose a lot of challenge for Indians. They can move the ball both ways and are brilliant while bowling in partnerships also,” Sehwag said.

“Boult vs Rohit Sharma will be a contest that I would be looking forward to. If Rohit gets set and see off Boult’s opening spell, it will be a treat to watch,” feels one of India’s greatest match winners in the longer format.
