Practicing too much isn't beneficial: Sanjay Bhangar
India's former coach Sanjay Bhangar spoke about Rohit Sharma and the reason why he isn't been able to score runs. Rohit, who scored just two runs in the last game, is under scrutiny for not providing runs with the bat. He blamed the extra practice sessions and urged the player to take some time off and rethink his journey.
"A phase has come in his career where he hasn't scored runs. Sometimes practicing too much isn't beneficial. He can probably spend a little time alone and watch the phase where he enjoyed a lot of success. Watch some videos and figure out what his habits and routines were," said Sanjay Bhangar.
