  1. VVS Laxman questions Rohit Sharma’s shot selection Former India player turned commentator VVS Laxman shared his disappointment with Rohit Sharma’sway of dismissal on Day 4 of the Lord’s Test. He pulled Mark Wood straight to deep square leg, with the fielder placed there from before.

Notably, the Indian opener was dismissed for 21 in the second innings. With KL Rahul (5) and Virat Kohli (20) also failed to contribute much as well. In an interaction with ESPN Cricinfo, Laxman commented: “Rohit Sharma has let himself down. We have seen him get out in that fashion in the first Test in Nottingham as well. Sometimes your favourite stroke can lead to your downfall. In the very same over, he got a beautiful six over fine leg. When the opposition captain makes a change, it is very clear that it is their line of attack and they want Rohit Sharma to play (a particular shot). It was a trap for Rohit Sharma and he unfortunately fell into that. He is a much more experienced player than what he saw with that shot selection.” The veteran further added that once Rahul got out early, it was important for Sharma to carry on, as he was settled in the middle by then. The former batter added: “After Rahul got out, it was very important for Rohit Sharma to carry on. The way he was batting, there were some beautiful drives. He was timing the ball really well. Rohit Sharma needed to carry on his good form. Very disappointed with that shot selection from Rohit Sharma.”

And, VVS Laxman said that Rohit Sharma should be careful while playing the shot. Notably, India have taken a lead of 154 runs before the stumps on Day 4 as well.
