In India’s first innings of the first Test match against the West Indies, Rohit Sharma was praised by Legend Aakash Chopra for suppressing his inclinations for aggression and playing a controlled innings.
On Thursday, July 13, Rohit struck 103 runs off 221 deliveries as India finished Day 2 at 312/2 at Roseau. With Yashasvi Jaiswal (143*) and Virat Kohli (36*), the undefeated hitters, in the crease, they had a 162 run advantage after the first inning.
Another inspiring tale is that of Rohit Sharma. He made his tenth century in a Test. Imagine having a Ferrari that can go 200 kph and being instructed to drive it at 30 kph even while the road is clear if you need to comprehend or appreciate what Rohit is doing.
The previous Indian opening continued:
Instead of putting it in cruise control, you should only apply that much pressure on the accelerator. Once you’ve spent the first 15 to 20 minutes, you won’t be able to quit. In spite of the fact that Rohit is driving his Ferrari at a speed of only 30 kph, he enjoys it.
Rohit had a strike rate of 46.60 when he scored runs. During his 221 balls at the crease, he only hit 10 fours and two sixes.
Rohit Sharma’s strategy as opener has been dubbed “the romance of playing Test cricket” by Legend Aakash Chopra
Rohit Sharma is enjoying the relatively cautious stance he must take at the top of the order in Test cricket, according to Legend Aakash Chopra.
The romanticism of playing Test cricket is what I find most lovely. It is obvious from Rohit’s opening performance in England and subsequent appearances that the player has begun to love it.
The well-known pundit continued:
That isn’t Rohit Sharma. He can hit fours and sixes anytime he wants and against anybody he wants, like a Ferrari, but to play in this way just adds another level of Wow.
In addition, Rohit and Yashasvi Jaiswal were commended by Chopra for being the first Test cricket opening duo for India to surpass the opposition’s total without breaking apart. After the West Indies were dismissed for 150 on Day 1, the pair put up a 229-run opening-wicket stand.
