“Rohit Sharma stands out in the world of cricket not only as a thrilling entertainer but also as a game-defining talent. Among the elite batsmen of the sport, few can match his ability to captivate and amaze audiences.

In the realm of 50-over games, Rohit Sharma’s record is nothing short of exceptional. Out of his remarkable 30 centuries in this format, an astonishing 23 have directly contributed to his team’s victory. His batting average soars to just under 60 in matches where India emerges triumphant. As a versatile all-format batsman, ODI cricket has showcased the zenith of his skills. It took some time for him to unlock the consistency puzzle, but once promoted to open the innings, he became an almost unstoppable force. The runs and monumental innings started piling up, exemplified by his incredible achievement of scoring three double centuries in ODIs. When he is in full flow, watching him bat is a pure visual delight, akin to witnessing a machine programmed for hitting sixes. While his pull shot is a potent weapon for clearing the boundary, his drives and cuts are equally delightful to behold.

In terms of leadership, Rohit Sharma’s captaincy may not have reached the lofty heights that some had anticipated. Perhaps, this is because he was primarily judged based on his success with the Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League. Moreover, a series of injuries and fatigue-induced breaks have limited his appearances on the field. Nevertheless, he remains a fine and proven leader of men, and his slip fielding skills are arguably the safest in the team.

Inning to Remember: 140 runs against Pakistan at Manchester in World Cup 2019

Rohit Sharma, a product of the esteemed Mumbai school of batting, has undeniably enriched the city’s illustrious batting legacy. While all centuries are significant, some stand out more than others. This particular century against Pakistan in a World Cup match is etched in memory not only for the rivalry but also for the sheer brilliance of his stroke-play. To illustrate, Pakistan’s bowlers erred by pitching short 27 times, and he ruthlessly capitalized by plundering 53 runs. Beyond the context of the opposition and the legendary status such match-winning performances against arch-rivals attain, this was undeniably one of the greatest World Cup centuries ever played by an Indian batsman, regardless of the opponent.

On a side note, not many may know this but Sharma is a devoted football enthusiast. His greatest aspiration is to have the opportunity to meet his idol, Zinedine Zidane.”
