“I have my doubts”: Former Indian cricketer expresses concern over Rohit Sharma’s consistency
Indian skipper Rohit Sharma ended his batting struggle on Sunday by scoring a pivotal hundred in the second ODI against England in Cuttack. His sensational knock gave India huge hopes ahead of the Champions Trophy as he got rid of a prolonged lean patch.
Rohit Sharma, who had been struggling to get runs, enduring a long period of frustration, hit his straps in a spectacular fashion. But, former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar has expressed his doubts over Rohit Sharma’s consistency.
"Rohit Sharma had a different template where he didn't have to run too much. It was amazing how he got his second double hundred. But at this stage of his career, when you watched him go through the whole process and get that big hundred, he wanted it. Whether he can do it day in and day out like he did in 2019, we will have to wait and see. I have my doubts. But both versions of Rohit Sharma 2019 and 2023 are excellent for Indian cricket," Manjrekar said on ESPNcricinfo..
"You could see it took a lot out of him that inning. Fifty overs cricket can be physically very demanding for bowlers, fielders, and batters. Virat Kohli knows how physically draining it can be, and that is why his fitness level has allowed him to still get those hundreds by running the ones and twos," Manjrekar said.
Rohit Sharma scored his 32nd ODI century off 76 balls, becoming the second-highest run-getter for India as an opener in international cricket. The third and final ODI against England will be played on Wednesday in Ahmedabad.
