In the heart of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023, Rohit Sharma has emerged as a shining beacon for Team India. The charismatic Indian captain’s journey in the tournament has been sensational. From a challenging start to becoming a prolific run-scorer, Rohit Sharma’s contributions have been pivotal to India’s quest for World Cup glory.
Rohit Sharma’s World Cup campaign began on a rather sad note when he was dismissed for a duck in India’s tournament opener against Australia in Chennai. Many feared this might set the tone for his World Cup journey, but Rohit had other plans.
The duck against Australia was merely a blip on the radar, quickly overshadowed by remarkable performances. In the following matches, Rohit Sharma was nothing short of spectacular. He delivered knocks of 131, 86, 48, 46, and 87, demonstrating his ability to adapt to different match situations and provide India with fast starts.
Rohit Sharma’s exceptional batting has not only silenced critics but also provided his team with the much-needed momentum. He has consistently given fast starts to the Indian innings, making chasing totals much more manageable. His ability to set the tone at the beginning of the innings has been a significant asset for Team India.
In a crucial encounter against England, where India found themselves batting first for the first time in the tournament, Rohit Sharma rose to the occasion. India’s top-order stumbled, with the score at 40 for 3. It was Rohit’s splendid innings of 87 runs that rescued the team from the precarious situation. Thanks to his brilliance, India went on to win the game convincingly, securing a 100-run victory.

As India prepares for its next game against Sri Lanka at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, a different challenge has surfaced. Rohit Sharma, the vigilant skipper, couldn’t help but notice the city’s weather conditions during his flight to Mumbai. His concern was evident as he captured a photo of the city enveloped in a thick smog and shared it on his Instagram story with the caption, “Mumbai, yeh kya ho gaya (Mumbai, what’s happened)?”
Mumbai’s weather, in recent times, has been a cause for concern. The Air Quality Index (AQI) in the city recently registered a value of 161, categorizing it as ‘moderate.’ The air quality has raised eyebrows, with England star Joe Root expressing his discomfort during the tournament, stating, “It was like you were eating the air. It was unique.”
