“Playing in this condition is never easy, but you know you always challenge yourself as the mixture to get out and do when his condition is challenging, it is something I tried to do.” “I have made some changes in my technique too.
I don’t try to move too much on the fold, trying to remain for the age of possible making bats closer to the body,” he added.
Rohit says all such things can add value to the game.
“All things can add value to your game.
I am quite happy with the way I handle new balls, the first new Bowler spell.
But of course in a condition like this, you have never been set, never set, you just treated each ball as New ball, “he said.
“So, you just keep to tell yourself that each ball is different and you just make sure that you think like that all the time until you are.” Rohit has defended playing a pull shot that caused his dismissal in 36 on Thursday, saying if he saw the ball in his area, he “had to play his shot”.
Rohit, which was well arrested by Sam Curran on the fence off Ollie Robinson, played the trademark.
“Looks like you said it was my shot, so I had to play shots, as we saw at the first hour playing, we didn’t get their loose ball and their bowler was quite disciplined,” he said at the post-day press conference after playing the second day, which was called Early because of rain.
Rohit states that strange opportunities need to be taken.
“So, you have to take your strange opportunity when the ball is there, you have to punish them.
Of course, you know, when it’s around the near future, you feel disappointed and that’s what I feel about it (dismissal),” he added.

Rohit was not disturbed by poor performances from the Tim medium order, said the visitors suffered a mini collapse in their first round because of a good bowling from the side of their house.
After 97-run opening stood between Rohit (36) and Rahul (57 did not come out), India slipped to 112/4, losing captain of Virat Kohli (0), Cheteshwar Pujara (4) and Ajinkya Rahane (5).
“No, it (medium order form) is not a problem.
I think if you see how they come out actually for a good ball, so I don’t see worries in that, I just feel that sometimes you have to play according to conditions and I think we played very good conditions to start, “said Rohit last night.
“But obviously there will be times, bowlers will come back and then you just have to respond.” We knew the overhead conditions were very meaningful and suddenly when it was cloudy, the ball began to do a little more, “he added.
