Age is just a number for Team India captain Rohit Sharma. Even at the age of 36, Rohit is the batting mainstay of the Men in Blue. His aggressive batting as an opener gives nightmarish experience to the opposition bowlers and captain.
Veteran off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin – who was discussing Rohit’s knock against arch-rival Pakistan on his official YouTube channel – shared an interesting anecdote regarding the captain. Ashwin revealed a conversation he had about Rohit with Virat Kohli, as the opener was batting at the crease during a game.
“5-6 years back, Virat Kohli and I had a discussion while Rohit was batting. I don’t remember which match it was. Seeing Rohit bat, I was thinking, “Where do you even bowl to him? If Rohit is set after 15-20 overs, you wouldn’t know where to bowl to him.
Kohli asked me, “Do you know who is a captain’s nightmare at the death?
“I asked, “Is it Dhoni?” Kohli was like, “No, it is Rohit.” When I asked him why, he said you won’t know where to bowl,” recalled Ashwin.
As per Ashwin, Rohit makes batting look effortless and he has got all the shots in the book.
