The upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy will be very important for the Indian team as this series will decide the fate of the Indian team for the World Test Championship final. The series’ first game will be played on 9th February at Nagpur.
Talking to a media show called “game plan”, Sanjay Bangar was asked about his thoughts on the upcoming series for Rohit Sharma, to which Sanjay responded that Border-Gavaskar would be a big series for the Indian team and also the skipper.
“It’s a massive series for Rohit purely because whenever he was at his best, unfortunately, injuries made him sit out a lot of Test matches from 2015 to 2018. In 2018, when he was batting well, he had to miss a Test match because he wanted to come back home to be with his family for personal reasons,” said Sanjay Bangar.
Further, Sanjay added that against England, his series was terrific at home. And he will try to do the same in the upcoming series against Australia.
“He has already conquered in his mind the challenge of batting in English conditions in Test match cricket as an opener. Against England in India, we saw what a terrific series he had at home. So he obviously would keep this at the top of his to-do mark to do well as a captain against the Australian team,” Bangar further added.
