Senior Indian cricketers Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are honing their defensive techniques and backfoot play to enhance their performance in Test cricket. In recent practice sessions held in Mumbai, Kohli dedicated significant time to refining his ability to handle spin bowling from the backfoot. Concurrently, Rohit focused on improving his judgment in leaving deliveries and fortifying his defense around the off-stump region.
Both cricketers have faced challenges with inconsistency in their performances. The training sessions have been strategically designed to bolster their defensive skills and promote judicious shot selection. This preparation is crucial as they gear up for the forthcoming Test match against New Zealand, where solid defense will play a key role in their success.
