This is the legacy that Rohit Sharma will leave behind as captain – Sanjay Manjrekar
The last match of the two-match Test series between India and Bangladesh is being played from September 27 at Green Park, Kanpur. The first three days of play were abandoned due to rain and a wet outfield. Team India again made this match exciting with its aggressive play on the fourth day.
On the fourth day, Bangladesh team was reduced to 233 runs in the first innings. After this, Rohit Sharma and company were seen batting in T20 style in the first innings. India created history by scoring the fastest 50, 100, 200 and 250 runs in Test cricket. India declared the innings at 285/9 in 34.4 overs.
Yashasvi Jaiswal (72), Shubman Gill (39), Virat Kohli (47) and KL Rahul (68) played explosive innings. Meanwhile, former Indian player and cricket commentator Sanjay Manjrekar is praising the mentality of Indian captain Rohit Sharma on the fourth day. Manjrekar praised the Indian batting and called it the team’s champion approach.
Sanjay Manjrekar said something special about Rohit Sharma’s captaincy
Cricket commentator Sanjay Manjrekar while speaking on ESPNcricinfo said,
This is the legacy that Rohit Sharma will leave behind as captain. He thinks so. A strong team, one of the top-2 teams in the world, showed a champion approach, realizing that a lot of time had been wasted. And he leads by example, just like he did in the 50-over World Cup. So, this is what Rohit Sharma will leave as his contribution to Indian cricket.
He was happy to put his wicket at stake- Manjrekar
Indian captain Rohit Sharma put the team above himself, he was ready to put his wicket at stake to score quick runs. Sanjay Manjrekar is very happy with Rohit Sharma’s approach.
You just do something for the team and play to win. He does not face any problem in this process, like in the 50 over World Cup… he did not score a big century. Even here, he was happy to put his wicket on the line and suddenly we have a Test match that India can win. You have to appreciate Rohit Sharma for this.
