India's batting coach, Sitanshu Kotak, has come out in support of senior players Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli following their recent struggles in the first ODI against Australia. Despite their below-par performance, Kotak expressed confidence in the duo, citing their vast experience in the IPL and rigorous preparation leading up to the series. Kotak firmly dismissed any concerns about rustiness affecting Rohit and Kohli, emphasizing that their track record and professionalism speak for themselves. He suggested that one off-day does not define their abilities and that fans should trust in their resilience and skill. Furthermore, Kotak pointed out the adverse impact of rain interruptions on the team's batting performance. He highlighted the challenges posed by disruptions in rhythm and momentum, particularly for top-order batsmen like Rohit and Kohli. As India looks to bounce back in the upcoming matches, Kotak's words serve as a reassuring message for fans, reaffirming faith in the capabilities of the team's star players amidst temporary setbacks.
