New Delhi:Rohit Sharma has not been able to do wonders with the bat in IPL 2023. Many times he got out after a good start and could not open the account in the last match. On this, former India opener Virender Sehwag said that there is no technical flaw in Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma’s batting and his poor form is due to mental block. Rohit scored only 184 runs this season at an average of 18.39 and a strike rate of 126.89. In the last two matches, he could not even open the account. Sehwag said in the program of Star Sports, ‘Rohit Sharma is not battling with the bowlers but with himself. He is facing mental block. He said, ‘There is no flaw in his batting technique. There is some confusion going on in his mind. The day he recovers from this, he will make up for all the previous matches.
