Adamant about the effective attacking approach of the Indian team under head coach Rahul Dravid, India captain Rohit Sharma showcased his explosive batting style in the nets ahead of the Asia Cup 2022 on Wednesday. One of the finest opening batters across all generations, superstar Rohit went bonkers in the nets as the Indian captain hammered the bowlers during one of India’s training sessions in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
From Ravindra Jadeja to Ravichandran Ashwin, Rohit was seen launching an all-out attack on the Indian spinners during the net session. The video of the net session became a major talking point on social media. Rohit will lead India in the upcoming edition of the Asia Cup. Team India led by veteran opener Rohit will meet arch-rivals Pakistan in their Asia Cup opener on Sunday. With Rohit at the helm, India are hoping to avenge its heartbreaking defeat at the hands of Pakistan in the 2021 edition of the T20 World Cup
Babar Azam-led Pakistan side had outclassed India to register their first-ever win over the Asian giants in a World Cup game. Besides captain Rohit, former Indian skipper Virat Kohli also enjoyed a fruitful batting session ahead of the Indo-Pak showdown at the Asia Cup 2022. Speaking to Star Sports ahead of the high-voltage clash, Indian skipper Rohit downplayed the Indo-Pak hype in the continental cup.
Everyone watches the game and it’s a high-pressure game without a doubt, but within the group we want to create a normal atmosphere,” Rohit was quoted as saying. “We don’t want to hype this game too much. It’s important to tell the players who haven’t played against Pakistan or played them just one or two times that it’s just another opposition,” the Indian skipper added. Rohit-led Team India will meet Pakistan in their Asia Cup opener at the Dubai International Stadium on Sunday. Pakistan had defeated India at the same venue last year.
