His only Test hundred outside the sub-continent came at the Oval in 2021 and India skipper Rohit Sharma says one never feels “in” as a batter in English conditions but somehow develops an intuition as to when to attack the opposition bowling. Ahead of the WTC final against Australia, Rohit feels that there is no substitute for hard grind on English tracks.

Rohit said during an ICC event –

“Look, I think, in England in general, it’s pretty challenging conditions for batters. As long as you are prepared to have a good grind, you can have success.” Rohit spoke about his personal experience while seated alongside Pat Cummins, Ross Taylor and Ian Bell.

Rohit added – “One thing I realised in 2021, you are never in (set) and the weather keeps changing. You need to keep concentrating for longer periods of time and you will get that intuition when it’s time to take on the bowlers. More importantly you need to be out there and you have got to understand what your strengths are.”

Rohit further added –

“I am not going to try and emulate them (successful players) but it would be a bit nice to know their pattern of scoring. What I have found out at Oval is that the square boundaries are pretty quick.” Rohit feels that knowing the scoring pattern of former players, who have had success at the Oval, won’t be a bad idea.
