A little surprised at first, director Rahul Dravid paid tribute to a piece of history and paid a glorious tribute to Indian captain Rohit Sharma.
Without a doubt, Rohit Sharma is one of the greatest cricketers to ever appear in Indian cricket history. He’s the only hitter in the ODI to score triple centuries—no other player has even scored two goals—Rohit has been at the top of his game for the past decade. Starting out as a center hitter, Rohit’s early career was overwhelming, especially given the insurmountable talent he possessed. Even though he won the T20 World Championship in 2007, much hope was left for Rohit’s career and his future was put to the test when injury kept him out of the 2011 World Championships. it was done. But little did Rohit and the world know that Rohit’s career would take a second win two years later when MS Dhoni named him to the Indian team’s named opener. India started the innings with Sikar his Dhawan and then rode that pair’s success for nearly his decade. Rohit’s career reached its climax, and in 2019 he became the first hitter to score a 5th century in a single World Championship, batting he achieved Nirvana. Many believe that opener Rohit started his career with the 2013 Champions League trophy, but in reality, he made his India international debut in South Africa on 18 January. I was.
On the eve of the 3rd ODI between India and New Zealand on Tuesday, India’s head coach surprised Rahul Dravid. It was the fact that it first opened at home on January 23rd (exactly 10 years before him). A little taken aback at first, Dravid acknowledged the piece of history and paid glorious tribute to the Indian captain.
“He was a phenomenal cricketer for India. He obviously started out as this really great talent. I first met him when I was around 17 or 18. I remember he had just come out of the U19s and he looked a little different here. And he went on to prove it. There are many kids who look different at 19, but not all of them reach their potential. Whatever Rohit has accomplished in the last 15 years, I think he has really reached his potential and become a truly good servant in Indian cricket. He did really well,” Dravid said at a press conference.
His Rohit record as an opener is of epic proportions. In fact, with 7,663 runs, Rohit is the third highest run-getter by an Indian opener in the ODI, behind Sachin Tendulkar and Souraf Ganguly. Additionally, all four of Rohit’s T20I century came during the opening. The Rohit-Dhawan pair was also his combination, the most successful Indian opening after Tendulkar-Ganguly, and the star duo scored 5148 runs in his eighteenth-century partnership, with his 15 over 50. His fourth tallest overall.Dravid
“Obviously the turning point for him in a way was ten years ago when he finally got the chance to open up and his trademark was his performances in major ICC tournaments. We’ve also seen his ability to hit big runs when he’s off. Anyone who triples the score to 100 in this format is a phenomenal achievement,” Dravid added.
“He’s had quite a bit of success and he’s the guy with that kind of game. He’s got an all-around game.
