Xtra Time Web Desk: Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have been working on refining their approaches after the T20 World Cup 2022. While Sanjay Manjrekar believes that their cautious approach in that tournament contributed to India's loss, it seems they've taken steps to rectify that.

Rohit Sharma's shift to an ultra-aggressive approach has evidently paid off, particularly with notable performances in the ODI World Cup 2023 and in T20Is. His ability to adapt and evolve his game demonstrates his commitment to improvement and success.

Similarly, Virat Kohli seems to have addressed his power-hitting against spin outside of the powerplay, showcasing impressive performances in the IPL. His role in driving RCB's winning streak highlights his determination and capability to make impactful contributions.

It's encouraging to see these players learning from past experiences and refining their strategies to perform at their best. With their talent and dedication, they're undoubtedly key assets for Indian cricket.

 "In the last T20 World Cup two years ago, in the semis against England in Adelaide, India batted first and got only 168 runs in 20 overs, and a shocking 62 in the first 10. The bulk of deliveries in this crucial period were faced by the seniors, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Rohit got 27 off 28 balls at a strike rate of 96, while Virat secured 50 off 40 balls at a strike rate of 125, eventually getting out in the 18th over," Sanjay Manjrekar wrote in his column.

"India had lost the tournament right there. Thanks to Hardik Pandya’s 63 off 33 balls, at a strike rate of 190, India had something to show on the board. England, unsurprisingly, chased the target in 16 overs with 10 wickets in hand," Manjrekar recounted from the T20 World Cup 2022.
