The Advice Rohit Sharma Gave To Abdul Samad

“Hit the ball either off this leg or that leg. Every pitch behaves differently every day. Today, it’s more humid, so there will be some moisture. If it’s less humid and windy, the pitch will be better for batting. But you’ll only understand it properly once the match starts.”

Whatever ability you have, whatever talent, whatever technique, some things don’t work without technique, let’s accept that. You can’t play like me, I can’t play like you.”

You have your talent. If I go to copy you or you try to copy me, or if I go to copy his technique or his technique, life will pass by in that time. Most important is what is up here,” 
he said.
