It’s the first time that Rohit Sharma is playing his first series as an opener in English conditions, has registered scores of 36,12*, 83, and 21in the two tests.

Sachin Tendulkar, the master blaster was actually impressed with Rohit’s technique and particularly his keenness to leave the ball alone.
Sachin further said, “Rohit has left the ball and defended the ball brilliantly or equally well. He was always a superb player but seeing his last few innings in England, I can say he has definitely gone a notch higher’’.
