We don't look at left-arm or right-arm bowlers, wickets are wickets: Rohit

Visakhapatnam, Mar 19 (PTI) Captain Rohit Sharma on Sunday refused to read Indian top-order batters' struggle against Australia bowler Mitchell Starc in the first two ODIs as a pattern of failure against left-arm pacers.
Starc ripped through the Indian top order in the first ODI in Mumbai with a three-wicket burst, though for a lost cause, before his 5/53 performance which set up Australia's 10-wicket thrashing of the home side here on Sunday.
The Australian pacer's performances in the two ODIs yet again underlined the woes of India’s top-order -- stacked with plenty of right-handed batters -- against left-arm quicks, with the likes of Pakistan’s Mohammad Amir, Shaheen Shah Afridi and New Zealand’s Trent Boult hurting them dearly in crucial games in the past.
