WTC Final: Swinging ball could be a problem for Rohit Sharma against New Zealand, says Scott Styris

World Test Championship final: Former New Zealand all-rounder Scott Styris said he has observed Rohit Sharma doesn't move his feet much early in his innings and that could bring about his downfall in Southampton if conditions favour swing bowling.

Former New Zealand all-rounder Scott Styris has said Rohit Sharma might struggle in the World Test Championship final in Southampton if conditions favour swing bowling. Styris said he has observed quite a few times that Rohit doesn't move his feet well early in his innings and that might prove to be his undoing in the historic title clash, starting June 18 at the Ageas Bowl. World No. 1 Test side New Zealand take on WTC table-toppers India in what promises to be a cracker of a contest. New Zealand are heading into the one-off title match on the back of a convincing Test series win against England in England. On the other hand, India don't have competition action under the belt in the lead up to the WTC final. India are likely to open with Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill after the two batsmen impressed in India's series victory earlier this year in Australia. Rohit continued his good form and hit 345 runs, including a hundred and a fifty, in difficult batting conditions against England at home.
