Captain Rohit Sharma played a brilliant innings during India’s final Super Eight match against Australia in St Lucia to set the tone of victory for his team. His blazing knock of 92 in just 41 balls helped India register a challenging total of 205. Rohit batted with almost wild abandon, smashing seven fours and eight sixes during his blistering knock.
In response, former Pakistan all-rounder Mohammad Hafeez was all praise for Rohit after India won the match by 24 runs.
“When you set big goals then your pedigree increases. If I talk about Rohit, India’s leadership deserves to win the World Cup. The way he played unconditional cricket like a champion player. He didn’t care if there was any seam or swing,” said Hafeez during a recent interaction.
“Special effort and you can’t praise anyone enough when you weigh their performances with Rohit, others efforts would only look smaller. Rohit is the only person at the moment who deserves to win this World Cup for India,” he added.
