T20 World Cup | Rohit Sharma's childhood coach Dinesh Lad is not happy with the way he has been dismissed and believes that the Indian captain should play the role of a facilitator of the innings instead of taking risks.

Coach Dinesh Lad wants Rohit to spend more time on the wicket. He said in an interview to PTI, "He has been playing very risky for some time which he should not play. I don't know why he is doing this. He is making a mistake just by playing aggressively.

"He should spend more time at the crease and not lose his wicket. I don't want him to take the risk in the first six overs of the powerplay. He should show normal and natural play.

Lad said, "As his coach, I want to see him as the architect of the innings, not as an explosive batsman. If he stays on the wicket for some time, then he will play long and useful innings. He is playing a lot of aerial shots which are sometimes required in T20 cricket but he should play with controlled aggression.
