Rohit Sharma seems to have all the time in the world: Josh Hazlewood

The Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) is still a couple of months away, but many players and experts have already expressed their opinions about the series and the players involved in it. Josh Hazlewood is the latest to share his opinion. He heaped praise on Rohit Sharma for the amount of time he seems to have before playing every shot. 

“I remember one time India came out, he batted at 5 or 6 and then last time he opened. He’s faced the new ball a lot. I feel like he plays the quicks unbelievably well. The bounce doesn’t seem to worry him, the movement doesn’t. He’s got all the time in the world. So, I find him quite tough to bowl to," Hazlewood recalled on Star Sports.

Along with Rohit, Hazlewood also believes Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant are the other two key wickets as Australia look to win their first Test series over India since 2014-15. “Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Rishabh Pant are probably going to be the three really big ones. But then you've still got Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Jadeja, and who else will come out—another five, I'm not sure," Hazlewood continued. 

"It's a pretty amazing line-up they've got, so it's going to be a massive challenge. As I said, if we, as a bowling group, are good enough for long periods, hopefully, we can challenge their defence."

The five-match Test series will begin from November 22 in Perth.
