Indian cricket team would be booming with confidence after winning the match by 8 wickets against Afghanistan. Indian skipper Rohit Sharma silenced all the critics by smashing a breathtaking ton. Rohit Sharma was seen taking calculative risks and was in sublime touch and showed glimpses of the 2019 ODI WC campaign.
Rohit Sharma made a statement that he is not done yet and the absence of Shubman Gill actually proved to be a blessing in disguise. Rohit was able to play his natural brand of cricket and once he got into his groove, he was quite unstoppable.
The billion people would be hoping that Rohit Sharma displays yet another similar performance against Pakistan in a high voltage clash. There are chances that Shubman Gill would be available for selection who is set to recover from the dengue infection.
These are great signs that it has come early in World Cup for Rohit Sharma- Gautam Gambhir
Gautam Gambhir was having an interaction with Star Sports and was mightily pleased with the performance of Rohit Sharma and said that Rohit Sharma played a wide short of shots. Gautam Gambhir pointed out that India’s star batter needed some runs under his belt given next match is against Pakistan on 14th October at the iconic Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad.
“You won’t just look at the quality but the sort of shots that were played. You can ignore the attack because of the way he dominated, these are great signs that it has come early in the World Cup,” said Gautam Gambhir.
“He didn’t score runs in the first match but the way he batted today, especially when the next match is India-Pakistan, you want to go to that match after scoring runs. You don’t want to go with two back-to-back failures and Rohit Sharma will get a lot of confidence from this knock,” he added.
