The Indian openers came out with contrasting approaches on Day 1 of the first Test against Australia, and it was evident in their batting performances.

According to Virat Kohli’s childhood coach, Rajkumar Sharma, Rohit’s positive and aggressive approach was part of a well-planned strategy that put India in control of the match. He added that it was important for batter to play with a positive mindset on the wicket, and that batting defensively won’t be the right approach.

Rohit’s experience shone through as he grabbed onto every scoring opportunity and didn’t let the Australian bowlers settle in, particularly Pat Cummins. The senior batter dazzled viewers with his knock, hitting nine fours and a six, putting India in pole position at the end of Day 1 with a score of 77 for 1.
