The only worry of the former cricket star for Rohit Sharma and Co.
The Rohit Sharma-led Indian cricket team is on a 5-match winning streak at the ongoing World Cup 2023 tournament. India has defeated all strong teams like Pakistan, Australia, and New Zealand until now in the tournament and is yet to lose its first match. Another fact is that the hosts won all their matches by dominating margins, making them a serious contender for the coveted world title. While things are going really well for the team, former India batter S. Badrinath praised captain Rohit but also focused on reminding the team about what happened back in the 2019 World Cup.
In an interview, Badrinath said, “First, his captaincy has been very good. He's stuck to the process and backed the right players. I think Rohit is like a big brother type of captain. He's easy-going and has a great relationship with the boys. So, I think he's doing pretty well, and his batting form has been tremendous. He's spoken about it before, saying that he's going to play positively right from the word go, and that's precisely what he's been doing.”
He further added, "See, it's a fact that India's middle order has not been tested, but it's not a matter of concern because India have been dominating and the top order is getting runs, so we can't call it a concern, but a fact. But these things happen in sports; you can't pay the price for playing too good cricket. I hope the 2019 demons don't come and haunt India, that's my only worry.”
