Rohit needs to be more measured in his approach as he has been attacking too much: Atul  Wassan

In the ICC World Cup 2023 Final matchup between Australia and India, former Indian cricketer Atul Wassan advises India’s captain to adopt a measured strategy. Wassan advises Rohit Sharma to play a more controlled innings and advises against taking an excessively aggressive approach. He calls attention to the potential threat that Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc pose and warns that an overly aggressive approach could put Sharma in danger against their fast bowling attack.

For India, Rohit’s incredible performance in the ODI World Cup 2023 has changed everything. His early-game aggression has been crucial in creating a strong basis for impressive totals. The Mumbaikar has prioritized a quick innings to help India advance quickly rather than setting personal records. Wassan believes that the Australian team is full of energy and has the mentality needed to win big games.

“Rohit has adopted an excessively aggressive stance. However, I think Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc will be formidable opponents, so he should go cautiously. We’ve won every game, so the preparation has gone well. Ahead of the upcoming final, Atul Wassan told ANI, “It seems like the match will be easy, but that would not be the case as I know the Australian team well and have played with them.”

The team is succeeding because every player is playing well: Atul Wassan

With ten straight wins going into the championship match, India is hoping to win the tournament without losing a match—a feat that has only been achieved by Australia and the West Indies in the past. Wassan draws attention to a crucial change in the Indian starting lineup: success is now determined by the entire squad rather than just a select few players as it was in the past. His study highlights how the current Indian team is unique due to the balanced input from every member of the squad.

“The team is succeeding because every player is playing well. Before, the majority of players weren’t up to par, and just one or two of them played exceptionally well. Because of the foundation that Rohit’s batting has laid for the others, Virat Kohli has played so effectively. Although Mohammed Shami has played so brilliantly, other bowlers are flourishing because Jasprit Bumrah puts pressure on hitters. The 55-year-old continued, “Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja have also performed their jobs admirably; they will be our trump cards tomorrow.
