Former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag recently used Twitter to express his admiration for Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, highlighting their significant contributions to the Indian cricket team, especially in the T20 format. Sehwag’s sincere message emphasizes the major influence these two players have had on the team’s culture and performance.
Sehwag started by complimenting Virat Kohli, referring to him as the “best T20 World Cup batsman ever.” He pointed out Kohli’s remarkable skill in winning matches on his own from challenging positions, mentioning his performances in 2014, 2016, and 2022. Sehwag also praised Kohli’s style, which he sees as embodying the “grace of a Guru.” As Kohli’s T20 career is nearing its end, Sehwag expressed his hope for Kohli’s continued success in other cricket formats.
Sehwag also had a lot of good things to say about Rohit Sharma, who has been part of every T20 World Cup. He was really impressed with how Rohit has become a more aggressive player in the last year. This change has not only made Rohit’s game better but also made the team environment more supportive. Sehwag feels very proud of Rohit’s accomplishments and hopes he does even better in the future.
“Talking about Virat as a T20 World Cup player, he’s definitely the best ever. He led the team to victory in 2014 and 2016, winning tough matches on his own. The 2022 game in Melbourne will be remembered in our T20 history, and he showed his skill again in the final yesterday. It’s not just the runs he scores, but his attitude that stands out. He often talks about something bigger than himself, which I think shows the influence of a spiritual teacher. His T20 career is ending on a high note, and I hope he continues to set high standards in the other cricket formats,” Sehwag commented on Virat Kohli.
“Rohit, the only player to have participated in all 9 T20 World Cups, has greatly impressed everyone with his recent shift towards a more aggressive playing style and his ability to foster a supportive team environment. This change was necessary and has led to positive outcomes. I’m very proud of how you’ve conducted yourself and hope you continue to do well in the future,” he said about Rohit Sharma in the same message.
Sehwag’s praise highlights the deep respect and admiration that both these cricket stars have gained for their commitment, talent, and leadership. Their efforts have been crucial in defining the team’s character and securing victories internationally.
