BGT 2024-25: Former Australian fast bowler Brett Lee has given advice to Indian captain Rohit Sharma and veteran batsman Virat Kohli before the starting series against Australia. Hit the “reset button” as they work on their technique. Brett Lee said that he is a champion player because he does the basic things better than others. He just needs to regain his rhythm.
Australian bowlers will adopt aggressive attitude
Captain Rohit Sharma has scored 588 runs in the last 11 Tests at an average of 29.40, while Kohli has scored only 250 runs in six Tests at an average of 22.72. Regarding his performance, Brett Lee said that he should work on his technique, get fresh, stay away from cricket as much as possible and then reach Australia and practice fully. I can say with certainty that the Australian fast bowlers will adopt a very aggressive attitude against Rohit with the new ball. Players like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will have to practice hard again.
Rohit will have to be less aggressive
The Border-Gavaskar Test series will start from November 22 at the Optus Stadium in Perth. After their poor performance in the recent three-match Test series against New Zealand, the performance of these two batsmen in the five-match series in Australia will be under watch. Brett Lee said on a 'Youtube channel' that when you give bad performances one after the other, the pressure increases. However, I think one of the reasons for the decline in Rohit's batting performance is his attempt to score fast runs. I have been watching him for the last decade. I believe he plays the best pull shot currently, but perhaps he is adopting a slightly aggressive approach.
