Intent Was To Score Runs Not Survive, Says Rohit Sharma
India vs England 2021: In contrast to the mentality that the English team showed in the second Test at Lord's, where they went into their second innings trying to save the Test and succumbed, the Indian batting line-up took the 354-run deficit in the third Test head-on with grafter Cheteshwar Pujara playing in a much higher gear than he is used to.
"This innings of ours was never about survival. We had an intent to score runs and Pujara clearly showed that. The way he got off the mark and carried on from there," said opener Rohit Sharma, who made a patient 61 and shared an 82-run partnership with Pujara (batting on 91).
