India's former chairman of selectors Kris Srikkanth has faith in opener Rohit Sharma to come good with the bat in the upcoming matches if he continues to back his natural game. 

Rohit hasn't found his touch after returning to the Test side at Sydney on Australia tour. He has batted in six innings and scored just one half-century. His scores are 26, 52, 44, and 7 on the Australia tour, followed by 6, and 12 against England at home in the first Test.

Srikkanth finds Rohit a class player and he's sure once the India opener gets back in form, it will be a treat to watch him bat. But for that, the 33-year-old will have to back his natural game.

"Rohit is a class player. He should not tinker with his style and play his natural game. He is an experienced campaigner and knows his job. He (Rohit) knows how to pace his game. Once he gets set, it is a delight to watch as he is a natural stoke maker,'' said Srikkanth, as quoted by the New Indian Express.

Former Indian cricketer and coach Anshuman Gaekwad has a similar view on Rohit. He feels the India senior batsman needs to play closer to his body to avoid getting out early against England. 

"Rohit is a class act. When he gets going, no matter what the format is, it becomes difficult for any captain to set the field for him. What he needs to do against England is to play closer to the body. When he plays away from the body he gets out. By now he would have identified the flaws and rectified the same. I am sure he will come out with flying colors in the second Test,'' said Gaekwad.
