CUTTACK: While giving Virat Kohli's fitness status a go-ahead, India's batting coach Sitanshu Kotak also brushed aside concerns about Rohit Sharma's lengthy lean patch. The captain has been short of runs for a while now.
"I personally don't think there is any problem. I mean, in the last three Onedayers before this series (in the Nagpur ODI Rohit scored just 2 runs) Rohit has scored 56, 64 and 35. So, he is averaging nearly 50-plus in those last three ODIs. We are talking about a player who has got 31 ODI hundreds. And when they keep scoring runs, nobody asks when they will fail," Kotak told reporters here.
