The Indian cricket team, led by Rohit Sharma, displayed a remarkable shift in mindset on the fourth day of the second Test match against Bangladesh in Kanpur. Despite rain interruptions limiting play to just 35 overs in the first three days, the hosts seized the initiative on Monday.
After dismissing Bangladesh for 233, India’s batsmen took an aggressive approach. Yashasvi Jaiswal opened the innings with a hat-trick of fours, while Rohit Sharma sent a six over the boundary on the first ball he faced.
Former India cricketer Saba Karim praised Rohit’s captaincy and his clear vision for the team. “Rohit’s intentions have always been very clear,” Karim said. “The decision-making has been very precise, and he leads by example.”
Karim noted that Rohit’s aggressive approach has inspired his teammates. “When he wants to impose as a team that you need to win this encounter, this is the way you have to take the game forward,” Karim said. “And I think that’s what Rohit and company have done so far.”
In contrast to previous captains who often adopted a cautious approach, Rohit has emphasized the importance of making an immediate impact. “There are no half measures whatsoever,” Karim said. “From the first ball, you need to make your intent very clear.”
Rohit’s leadership has been instrumental in India’s dominant performance in the match. The hosts have taken control of the game and are well-positioned to secure a victory.
