England Great Slams Shreyas Iyer's India, Recalls Rohit Sharma's Match-Winning Heroics

England fast bowlers keep on causing trouble for India’s heavy hitting batting order, mainly because of their aggressive short ball plans in their own home swing. After getting the Men in Blue all out for only 76 at Trent Bridge earlier this week, the English quicks then, again, tore through India top order in the fourth T20I, at Bristol.  

Former England captain Nasser Hussain pointed out how India keeps running into the same issue, especially with bouncers, and he feels the batters should actually learn to face short pitched deliveries by taking notes from Rohit Sharma. Hussain also gave credit to the legendary Indian opener and he went back to a personal memory, about his unforgettable century at the County Ground in Bristol, during India 2018 tour of England.

While commentating for Sky Sports during the fourth T20I of the five match series, Hussain was saying how England’s bowlers kept on unmasking India’s weakness, against the short ball, sort of again and again. He also went right back to Rohit Sharma, and basically reminded the audience about that opener’s brilliant innings, at the same ground back in July 2018, yeah.

The cricketer-turned-commentator commeted: “Here since Old Trafford we are seeing Indian batters threatened by bouncers, back then there was Rohit Sharma who has 100 at Bristol, who use to pull them apart in stands.”
