While history says that SENA teams (South Africa, England, New Zealand, and Australia) have resorted to using the sweep shot in India, the management of the India team is also relying on Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan’s ability to sweep to offset Pant’s counter-attacking game.
Although Shreyas Iyer appears to be a questionable starter for the opening Test in Nagpur on Thursday, the selectors are unlikely to name a replacement, strengthening Surya’s case. The decision of whether to trust Shubman Gill to bat in the middle order has been debated for some time by the selectors and team management, so it will be intriguing to witness.
India’s top order has recently been wary about turning balls. Hence, the players are now being encouraged to sweep more. Surya has demonstrated great sweeping skills. A quick middle-order performance could derail the Australians’ strategy.
Before the first Test, Indian batters have been spotted for the majority of their time in training honing their sweep and utilising an offensive strategy against spinners.
The theory is that the intention to score quickly is the more practical course of action if the pitch begins to take a nasty turn. The preliminary signs suggest that batting won’t be too difficult in the opening inning. It is crucial to put the game beyond the opposition in that situation.
Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli: Sweep Shot
Rohit Sharma is in sweep mode the entire practice sessions these days. India’s skipper is the team’s best executor of this shot.
In the latest training session, he launched a barrage of sweeps while batting in the open nets next to the stadium’s centre pitch.
He wasn’t trying to keep the ball on the ground like Virat Kohli; instead, he was hitting hard in the air. It was impossible to get the ball from the stands where he had smeared it.
Additionally, he was also spotted reverse sweeping with all of his might until he was completely content with a stroke that he rarely summons.
