Rohit Sharma was a happy captain after guiding India to a 106-run win in the second Test in Vizag. India levelled the series 1-1 with three more matches to go. Rohit Sharma lived up to his words about India’s fielding needing to be better in the second innings. He took a stunning catch at slips to dismiss Ollie Pope as he led by example for the Indian fielders to step up on the field. Axar Patel’s high catch to dismiss Joe Root and Shreyas Iyer’s run out to remove Ben Stokes were the two crucial dismissals in the England innings. The Indian fielders had a big role to play in both those dismissals. After the win, he spoke about his expectations from the young Indian fielders who stepped up on the field in the second innings. Rohit Sharma Lauds India’s Fielding After Vizag Test Win. ”You know there are a lot of young guys in the squad and that is something that I was expecting from them, from everyone to push really hard on the field and you saw the results on the field now. Very pleased with that and we will continue to do that and that is all Test cricket is all about. You need to repeat good things that you keep doing. If you want to win a series like this, you need to continue to do good work and try and repeat those good things as well” Rohit Sharma told the broadcasters after the game.
