'Have To Play Some Shots To Put Bowlers Under Pressure', Says Rohit On Playing Switch Hit & Reverse Sweep
T20 World Cup: After putting an exhibition of breath-taking strokeplay via his unbeaten 121, followed by a few more boundaries in the double Super Over to ensure an Indian victory over Afghanistan, captain Rohit Sharma said his switch hit and reverse sweep shots came out of the necessity to put the bowlers under pressure.
At the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Wednesday night, Rohit became the first man to hit five T20I centuries through his 121 not out off 69 balls as India made 212/4, after being 22/4 on a tacky pitch. More importantly, he shared a 190-run partnership for the fifth wicket with Rinku, who was unbeaten on 69 off 39 balls.
It also became India’s highest partnership for the fifth wicket in T20Is, breaking the previous record of 113 set by Virat Kohli and Hardik Pandya. Electing to bat first, Rohit was under pressure after bagging two successive ducks and when the on-field umpire signalled leg-byes on a glance, he gestured that he had put some bat on it, thus showing the desperation to get off the mark.
