The aggressive management of Rohit Sharma and another magnificent century from Virat Kohli propelled India to a 6-wicket victory against Bangladesh at the ICC ODI World Cup 2023. Former English cricket captain Nasser Hussain praised Rohit Sharma’s leadership and batting while also appreciating Virat Kohli’s century in an exclusive interview for the Star Sports program “Follow the Blues”.
StarCast Nasser Hussain offered his thoughts on Rohit Sharma’s batting at World Cups while appearing exclusively on Star Sports program “Follow the Blues”. He said, “I have thought for a long time, he’s one of the best white ball batters there has ever been. His track record is among the greatest; he has performed well in World Cups. At one point, we displayed a graphic displaying his incredible pull shot average over the previous few years against Bangladesh, which was 400.
He eventually made it out to it, but not before he had caused significant harm. For a while, they played a little cautious cricket in the T20 World Cup in Australia and they lost to England in Adelaide in the semi-final, but the most important thing I appreciate is intent, there is real intent. The way Rohit, Shubman, and Virat are playing will put a lot of top order bowlers under strain. This top three appears to be different.
In response to a question about Rohit Sharma’s World Cup captaincy, Nasser Hussain said: “Just as when you lose a bowler, the way you have to think about bowlers are critical moments in the games. When Kuldeep realized how good Siraj was returning with those cross seam deliveries, he went to Siraj, grabbed the wicket, and then returned to Kuldeep, Jadeja, and Bumrah. He merely switched out his bowlers, but as Dinesh Karthik noted on commentary, he was constantly switching his bowlers in an effort to secure a wicket. Therefore, his captaincy is similar to his batting in that he has the attacking option.
When discussing Virat Kohli century, Nasser Hussain stated, “Virat Kohli always plays the occasion, which is why he is outstanding in run chases.
He observes the circumstances in front of him and realizes that he won’t be significantly off the strike rate as he never accepts or savors delivery. Kohli would have changed gears if he had been chasing 350 runs on a pitch like this, but he was merely doing what he does best: making sure India crossed the finish line.
