Listen to what Adam Gilchrist said on Rohit Sharma’s innings against his own team-
Adam Gilchrist praised Rohit Sharma’s fearless attitude, saying his innings against Australia silenced all critics of the Indian captain’s T20 game.
“For a long time, people were talking about Rohit Sharma’s form and influence in the T20 format. They were raising questions about his place in T20. Rohit has answered all the questions with his innings and has also put an end to everyone’s doubts about him. This innings of Rohit was courageous and inspiring.”
Rohit has not only played an innings but has also given a statement that this is how our team plays. All the shots he played were in the middle of the bat. He was sending even the balls that were to be stopped to the boundary line, which shows how he wants to play as a captain. Seeing this, the entire team was filled with confidence. This innings of Rohit has put aside all the IPL figures and stats.
