Rohit Sharma’s struggle with the bat is mental, not technical: Sehwag

TIL Desk Sports/ Two of the most prolific batters in Indian cricket in the last decade Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will be up against each other on Tuesday.

But both iconic batters are going through contrasting journeys in the ongoing competition. Rohit has been struggling for runs this season but Virat is in brilliant form and scoring runs prolifically. Former India cricketer Virender Sehwag reckons Rohit’s problem isn’t technical and a lot mental.

Speaking on Star Sports’ Cricket Live, Sehwag said, “Rohit Sharma is not battling with the bowlers but with himself. There is a mental block. There’s no problem with his batting technique. Some confusion is going on in his mind. But the day he gets going, we will make up for all the previous matches.”

Former South Africa cricketer Imran Tahir has lauded Kohli for consistently scoring runs and termed it a result of his hard work and dedication.
