Former India batter Mohammad Kaif has said that every aspiring batter should watch India captain Rohit Sharma’s footage to understand where to hit a ball. India is set to face Australia at the Holkar Stadium in Indore after taking a 2-0 lead in the four-match Border-Gavaskar series.

Speaking to Star Sports, Kaif said Rohit has been in very good form and showed us how to bat on a turning track in both Nagpur and Delhi.

“I think it will be Rohit Sharma, he’s in very good form, scoring lots of runs, his contribution in the second test was very important, and he made a statement in terms of his batting, of how to play cricket on a turning track,” said Kaif.

He went on to say that aspiring batters should watch Rohit’s footage to understand where to hit a ball, insisting that the Indian skipper will perform in the remaining Tests as well.

“Even though there was a fielder at long-on, Rohit Sharma attacked the ball and beat the fielder. So, even if there is a fielder at long-on, he backs his ability to beat the fielder and hits a six. Rohit Sharma has done this and every aspiring batter should watch his footage to understand where to hit a ball. So, I’m pretty confident that Rohit Sharma will perform in both the final test matches,” Kaif added.

Kaif said it will be really hard for Australia to make a comeback in the four-match Test series against India.

“We spoke about Ashwin, Jadeja is another player who can change the game for us. And we haven’t even come to Axar Patel and Siraj’s bowling. Siraj didn’t even bowl in the second innings. So we have many match winners like that. So, in my opinion, it will be very hard for Australia to make a comeback from here,” said Kaif.
