Rohit Sharma Is Not Worried About Left-Arm Pacers: With the t20 World Cup 2022 just around the corner, one of India’s biggest worries might just be in-form left-arm pacers. India’s struggle against left-arm pacers has been well-documented as the players have been knocked out by the likes of Shaheen Shah Afridi, Mohammed Amir, and Trent Boult in major ICC tournaments over the past few years.
India continues to struggle against left-arm bowlers
Obed McCoy gave fans of the Indian cricket team a reminder of their weakness against the left-arm pacers. The Windies pacer stunned everyone as he picked a six-wicket haul in the 2nd T20I match on Monday. Not just this, it was last month when English pacer Reece Topley achieved the same feat against India in the 2nd ODI match at the Lord’s cricket ground.
Looking at the struggles, it is quite evident that India’s continues to struggle against left-arm pacers have gone nowhere. However, captain Rohit Sharma has ruled down the concerns and stated that if batters are looking to play shots, they can get out. Rohit also praised the left-armers for delivering well against India.

Speaking at the toss ahead of the third T20I on Tuesday (August 2) at St Kitts’ Werner Park stadium, Rohit said:
“I don’t know about that. We want to improve in all aspects of the game. But last two series, the left-arm seamers have really done well. But I don’t see it as a concern. There will be bowlers bowling at you, and if you are looking to play shots, you can get out,”
He added: “It’s not that the guys are struggling, it happens when you’re trying to score quickly. But we do need to understand when we come up against certain bowlers, we just want to come out and express ourselves, that’s what we want to continue doing,”
Meanwhile, After enduring a night to forget following a defeat in the 2nd T20I match, the Indian cricket team bounced back in the 3rd T20I and registered a 7-wicket win against West Indies at Warner Park, St Kitts on Tuesday, riding on the blistering half-century of Suryakumar Yadav and a fine cameo by Rishabh Pant.
