There is no like Rohit Sharma, not even Kohli, says Wasim Akram.
In a dazzling display of cricketing prowess at the Cricket World Cup 2023, India’s captain, Rohit Sharma, has emerged as a standout performer, drawing admiration from cricketing legends and opponents alike.
His exceptional ability to provide stellar starts to the innings, regardless of the bowling attack he faces, has been a key factor in India’s remarkable campaign in the tournament.
Cricket stalwarts Wasim Akram and Shoaib Malik, engaged in a conversation on A-Sports, underscored the unparalleled quality that sets Rohit apart from other top-tier batsmen such as Virat Kohli, Joe Root, Kane Williamson, and Babar Azam.
Akram remarked, “There’s no player like Rohit Sharma in international cricket. We talk about Virat Kohli, Joe Root, Kane Williamson, and Babar Azam, but this guy is different. He makes batting look so easy, no matter the opposition or bowling attack.”
Malik echoed this sentiment, highlighting Rohit’s unique ability to take on all five bowlers in the opposition lineup.
