Sunil Gavaskar said that Rohit Sharma shouldn't be happy scoring 25-30 runs for Team India and he should look to bat deep, which would be more impactful.
The Indian skipper has not yet fired with the bat in the ongoing ICC Champions Trophy 2025. He has continued his ultra-aggressive approach with the bat with an aim to provide his team with flying starts, but this has resulted in his failure to score big runs.
In three other matches against Pakistan, New Zealand, and Australia, he registered scores of 20, 15, and 28. Rohit Sharma has received heavy criticism from the cricketing fraternity for not converting his starts into big scores.
He bats for even 25 overs, India will be around 180-200 - Sunil Gavaskar
Meanwhile, in an interaction with India Today, Sunil Gavaskar said that Rohit Sharma's attacking brand of cricket hasn't brought him immense success and dropping it could be more beneficial.
"Therefore, from an aesthetic point of view, from a crowd-pleasing perspective, I am not speaking from the team's point of view. He bats for even 25 overs, India will be around 180-200. Imagine if they have lost only a couple of wickets by then; just think what they could do-they could reach 350 or more."
Are you happy with scoring 25-30 runs? - Sunil Gavaskar
"He also needs to give it some thought. It's one thing to go out and play aggressively, but there has to be a bit of discretion somewhere to give himself the chance to bat for 25-30 overs. If he does that, he takes the game away from the opposition," Gavaskar added.
"That kind of impact is match-winning. And I think, as a batter, are you happy with scoring 25-30 runs? You shouldn't be! So that is what I would say to him: your impact on the team will be even greater if you bat for 25 overs instead of just seven, eight, or nine overs."
