Indian Cricket Team would be pumped up after thrashing Netherlands in the last league stage match of ODI WC 2023. Skipper Rohit Sharma has been quite instrumental with bat in hand and has stood tall behind his bowlers in tough times. Rohit Sharma can be seen in beast mode as the batter has dismantled the opposition with his brisk strokeplay.
India’s next challenge is against New Zealand on 15th November at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai. According to sources with knowledge, it is believed that the surface would be a belter as we can expect a high-scoring thriller. With Hardik Pandya ruled out of the tournament, it would be interesting to see whether Shardul Thakur or Suryakumar Yadav can whack the bowlers all around the park.
New Zealand on the other side would be aiming to get rid of the top order quickly as the Indian side is way too dependent on Virat Kohli & Rohit Sharma which is not a good sign in a marquee tournament. Rohit Sharma should not take New Zealand lightly as earlier in the 2019 ODI WC, we witnessed how the Black Caps spoiled the party of a billion people.
Rohit Sharma makes batting look so easy- Wasim Akram
Wasim Akram was having an interaction with A Sports. Wasim Akram spoke about Rohit Sharma and said that there is no batter like Rohit in world cricket. Wasim Akram pointed out that Rohit Sharma can change the complexion of the match very quickly with his wide range of shots.
“Rohit and Gill put on 91 runs in 10 overs. The game got was over then. The way they played, I don’t think there is anyone like Rohit Sharma in world cricket. We talk about emperor Kohli (Virat), Joe Root, Williamson (Kane) and Babar Azam, but this guy is different,” said Wasim Akram.
“Rohit Sharma makes batting look so easy. No matter what the situation is, the bowling attack is, he plays his shots with ease. He changes the tempo of the game. Bowlers and oppositions are on the back foot from ball one, Like Inzamam, Rohit too has a lot of time against the pacers. His hand eye coordination is so natural,” he stated.
