Rohit Sharma opens up on unexpected nature of Nassau County surface
“It’s tough but that’s why I would like to highlight the experience we have. The blows count for nothing. When you play in places like SA, AUS, we have to overcome the challenges. The Gabba test is one big example. We thrive in these difficult moments. It’s the WC, so nothing can get bigger than this,” Rohit Sharma said on the conditions.
