Former Star of India Huge Praise for Rohit Sharma After Cricket World Cup 2023 Heroics
For Team India Captain Rohit Sharma, the Cricket World Cup 2023 has been a brilliant campaign till now. He did not have a good outing against Australia in the tournament opener, but since then, the veteran batter has enjoyed a sensational run of form. With 398 runs, he is the top run scorer for India, ahead of star batsman Virat Kohli and fourth overall. He was once again instrumental in steadying the innings for India after losing early wickets against England. Former player of team India Sanjay Manjrekar ranked the 87-run knock as one of his best. After the match, Manjrekar said that although Rohit is mainly remembered for his double tons in ODI cricket, the gritty knock on Sunday was a reflection of his talent.
Manjrekar said, “When we talk about Rohit Sharma's ODI batting and his greatness, we talk about the three double hundreds, and he scored a quick hundred recently as well. But according to me, this knock is one of the greatest ODI innings.”
He further said, “There are two or three reasons for that: the pitch was slightly tricky in the afternoon, the bowling challenge was quite good, the tactics Jos Buttler used were also high quality, and India was under pressure.”
