Dhoni’s decision changed Rohit’s career

Rohit has always been open about Dhoni’s support in his cricket journey. Many years ago, Rohit had said — “I think the decision to start the innings in ODI matches changed my career, and this decision was taken by MS Dhoni. After that, I became a better batsman.”

Rohit Sharma breaks silence on poor form

After his match-winning knock against Chennai, Rohit spoke about his recent poor form. Before this game, he had scored only 0, 8, 13, 17, 18, and 26 runs in his last six innings.

Rohit said, “When you are not scoring runs, it is easy to doubt yourself and try different things. For me, it was important to focus on practice and hit the ball well. When your mind is clear, things fall into place.”

Rohit’s focus on balance and self-belief

The former Mumbai Indians captain also said, “It has been a long time since I scored big, but I never let self-doubt control me. It’s important to strike a balance between how you want to play. Today I wanted to play my shots, but at the same time, it was also important to stay in control.”
