The India Cricket Team captain Rohit Sharma has been under the scanner after India’s humiliating 3-1 loss to Australia in the Border Gavaskar Trophy. Former India batter Manoj Tiwari has now come to back Rohit Sharma claiming his poor form has resulted in low self-confidence of the Hitman.
Manoj Tiwari also added that Rohit knew what was wrong with him. Since he understands that, Rohit Sharma made the decision to drop himself from the Sydney Test match as he was unable to score runs.
Rohit holds a lot of potential
“The performance is not going well, there is no doubt about it. If the performance was going well he would not have dropped himself. After what happened in Sydney in the final Test, he himself clarified in his interview that he was not scoring runs, which is why he felt he should not play,” Tiwari told IANS.
The Bengal cricketer continued to back Rohit Sharma. He claimed that the run-scoring percentage falls down when a player’s self-confidence is very low. However, he also believes that Rohit will take time to return and he has the potential to make a strong comeback in red ball cricket.
“When you are not scoring runs you lose your self-confidence and if your confidence is down, then your run-scoring percentage also falls down. He will definitely work on his batting. He is a blistering run-scorer in white-ball cricket and holds a lot of potential, a player of his calibre might take time to return to form so I believe he holds the potential to rectify his performances in red-ball cricket as well,” Tiwari added.

Tiwari claimed that India has been good in white ball format. The team won the T20 World Cup last year and also won the latest T20 series against South Africa 3-1. But losing to New Zealand 3-0 at home was a tough loss to digest.
“The performance has not been good. The performance in the Test match was not good. It has been good in T20, we won the World Cup a few months ago but now we have seen in Test cricket, we lost the home series 3-0 against New Zealand, that has happened after a lot of regret, this does not happen normally and should not happen either because you were playing in home conditions,” Tiwari concluded,
