After the Indian side lost in the semi-final of the 2022 T20 World Cup, Rohit Sharma called for an attacking strategy. The supporters gave Rohit’s attacking style of cricket a stamp of approval after the squad had won the T20 World Cup 2024. Yashasvi Jaiswal, who plays in Test matches, is a perfect replica of his style, and the two have been a nightmare for the opposition as they establish the team’s foundation and momentum beforehand.
In Kanpur, Rohit and Yashasvi Jaiswal were in outstanding form during the second Test match against Bangladesh.
The opening match of India’s three-match Test series versus New Zealand is scheduled for October 16 at Bengaluru. Prior to the curtain-raiser, the captain of India praised his opening partner and said the southpaw is ready for any situation. The pair began opening together during the 2023 West Indies series, it should be noted.
He has a lot of talent. He can play the game in a variety of situations. You can’t judge him yet because he’s still new. He has all the ingredients, though. He’s risen through the ranks and achieved success. “That’s the reason he’s playing for India,” Rohit Sharma stated at the news conference before the game.
It was a risk we were prepared to accept: Rohit Sharma
They scored the most runs of any team in the opening inning, reaching the 50-run milestone in just three overs. They did not slow down the pace of runs, as they broke their previous record against the West Indies in 2023 by reaching 100 in just 10.1 overs, which was the fastest of any team.

The idea of going and getting runs as fast as possible is clearly ingrained in batters’ mindsets. We were prepared to take the chance because attempting to bat like that could result in a poor score and a bundled out. However, Rohit stated following the match, “Even if we were bowled out for 100-150, we were prepared for it.”
