Former Indian opener and one of the most reputed commentators Aakash Chopra has praised the skipper of team India, Rohit Sharma for his sensational knock against Bangladesh on Thursday, October 19.
In Pune on Thursday, October 19, the Bangla Tigers established a target of 257 runs for the Men in Blue. Rohit then played an innings of 48 runs off 40 deliveries, and later, Virat Kohli’s unbeaten century guided India to a convincing seven-wicket victory with 51 deliveries remaining.
While talking on his official YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said that it seemed like Rohit Sharma was playing with the kids.
He stated, “The way Rohit Sharma was batting, it seemed like he was playing club cricket with kids, that you hit whenever and wherever you want to hit. He plays amazingly against the short ball although he did get out to a short ball in the end. He got out because he pulled the ball from well outside the off-stump.”
Aakash Chopra also said that Rohit Sharma gets a good start but he fails to convert his fifties into a big century which often disappoints his fans.
“When you do that, you aren’t able to hit the ball in the air and drag it down a little, because when it hits in the air, it goes into the stands. The way Rohit is batting, it seems like he will score a century every time and we feel sad whenever he doesn’t do that.”
During his innings, Rohit struck seven boundaries and two sixes. He was caught at deep square leg in an attempt to play a big shot as he aimed to reach his half-century.
