Steve Smith and Jason Roy the batsmen I enjoy watching the most, reveals Rohit Sharma
Rohit Sharma, in a Q & A session with his followers on Instagram, revealed that it was the duo of Steve Smith and Jason Roy who he enjoyed watching the most, in terms of batting. Rohit also further opined that he found New Zealandâs Martin Guptill to be currently the worldâs best fielder.
Rohit Sharmaâs career graph has been on a high since 2013, ever since he was promoted up the order to open the batting in limited-overs cricket, and it arguably hit its peak in 2019. Rohit, in 2019, astonishingly hit seven hundreds in ODI cricket, apart from scoring almost 1500 runs in the format, and also got his breakthrough in the Test format, with him scoring two tons and a double-century in his first outing as an opener in the longest format.Â
His 2020 was, unfortunately, brought to a standstill by first a calf injury and then the lockdown, but the opener, in an interview last month, revealed that he was close to recovering and getting back to the field. On Sunday, though, the 33-year-old decided to have some fun and kill time, indulging in a Q & A session with his followers on his Instagram story.
The Indian vice-captain was asked a plethora of questions by the fans and one amongst them was which batsmen he enjoyed watching the most. Responding to that question, Rohit took the names of Englandâs Jason Roy and Australiaâs Steve Smith, both of whom the opener has not played alongside with. In the same Q & A session, Rohit opined that he found Martin Guptill to be the best fielder in the world as of the moment and described his arch-rivals Chennai Super Kings as a âvery good teamâ. Rohit also labelled his Mumbai Indians teammate Hardik Pandya as a âvery talented cricketerâ and described MS Dhoni as a legend.
