Gautam Gambhir Makes Blunt Verdict On ‘Leader’ Rohit Sharma
The way Rohit Sharma has batted has greatly impressed former Indian cricket team opener Gautam Gambhir, who was a major factor in the team’s victories in both the 2011 ODI Cricket World Cup and the 2007 T20 Cricket World Cup.
“A leader accomplishes his goals for the team by doing it himself. You must bat well on your own if you want your teammates to do the same. Leading from the front is an act that you must perform on your own. You cannot outsource your PR or marketing needs,” Gautam Gambhir stated on Start Sports.
India defeated England on Sunday in Lucknow, with Rohit Sharma (87) scoring the most as the team reached 229/9. India then defeated England for a mere 129 runs.
“That was done by Rohit Sharma. He may be ranked No. 5 or No. 10 in terms of runs scored. It is irrelevant. However, your goal is to take home the title on November 19. You have to choose between winning the World Cup and hitting a 100. You play that manner if hitting a lot is your goal. However, if winning the World Cup is the goal, I want a selfless leader like Rohit Sharma to do even better than he has,” Gambhir continued.
Rohit Sharma became just the fifth Indian batter to reach more than 18,000 runs in an international match on Sunday during the Cricket World Cup, behind Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, Sourav Ganguly, and Virat Kohli.
Players from all over the world appreciate Rohit Sharma just as much as Indian celebrities do. Babar Azam, the captain of Pakistan and arguably one of the best batsmen in the world, talked about the qualities that he finds most admirable in long-serving superstars such as Rohit Sharma, Michael Clarke, and Kane Williamson.
In a Star Sports video, Babar stated that he most admires the skills of Williamson, Rohit, and Kohli to pull the team out of tight spots.
“My three favorite batters in the world are Rohit Sharma, Kane Williamson, and Virat Kohli. They are the world’s best players. They understand the circumstances the best, which makes them the best. The batsman inspire me,” he remarked.
“The ability of Virat, Rohit, and Kane to rescue the team from tight circumstances and score runs against challenging bowling is what I admire best about them. I attempt to learn this from them,” he continued.
