`Rohit should change his tactics`: Ravi Shastri

With skipper Rohit Sharma struggling to decipher a way to score runs in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, former India coach Ravi Shastri says the stylish batter should go in with a clear mindset, change his tactics, and attack the bowlers.

Rohit missed the opening Test Down Under to be with his family for the birth of his second child. He was expected to reclaim the opener’s spot but KL Rahul’s impressive 77 in India’s win at Perth prompted a rejig of the batting order with Rohit moving down to No.6.

The change though has not been fruitful for Rohit as he has managed 10, three and six runs in the last three innings, while Rahul has encashed on the opportunity by notching up a fine 84 in the first innings at Brisbane in the third Test.

“I would like to see Rohit Sharma, his tactics change a bit because he can still be extremely dangerous at that number [six],” Shastri opined on ICC Review.
Shastri felt Rohit should shun the defensive mindset.

“I think he’s got to be very clear in his mindset to go out there and take the attack to the opposition and not worry about anything else,” the cricketer-turned-commentator added. Rohit had made his Test debut in 2013 at No. 6 position, marking the occasion with a century.
