Rohit - The Game Changer

Rohit Sharma walking the talk

It is said that “older the wine better is tastes”. For Indian cricket, we can relate this to Indian Captain Rohit Sharma as he is showing his beast mode in the twilight of his career. The intentions were always there but the execution is what is making this man and Indian cricket team a real tough opponent to face.

The hitman’s beast approach could also be the result of T20I World Cup exit against England in 2022 which was played in Australia where positive approach was a mere talk, and execution was nowhere. “Something needs to be changed” said the hurt Indian captain after that world cup semifinal exit and it was evident in 50 over world cup in India where he took on the bowlers from the word go. Who can forget that innings of 92 runs which came off just 41 balls during T20I World cup triumph in West Indies but what was more breathtaking to witness was the bossy beast mode in which he destroyed the Aussies.

Rohit Sharma is walking the talk leading this Indian side with true positive approach. Currently, he has led India in 18 tests winning 12 of them and losing only 4 whereas the remaining 2 had resulted in draw. Talking about his ODI captaincy stats, he has led Men in blue in 48 one day internationals winning 34 of them and losing 12. Overall, Rohit has led India in 128 matches winning 95 of them and at the moment has a win % of over 70. His leading from the front approach has ignited the fire which urged Indian players to play with freedom and is creating the happy atmosphere in dressing room which is a real game changer for Indian cricket. Also, the assurance which he has given to every individual be it senior pro or any youngster is commendable. The only thing he asks from his players is intent. He backs his players and knows how to take out the best from the resources. He has his own way of captaincy said Harbhajan Singh when asked about Rohit’s captaincy and that’s true.

Recently concluded test win against Bangladesh was yet another evidence of his go-for-win attitude without which this test could have only ended up in much straightforward draw. Not only for Indian cricket but also for the sake of test cricket in the world this was needed, the excitement, the fire, the domination, and also pushing the most loved format up with another formats.

Future Assignments for Rohit

New head coach Gambhir and captain Rohit Sharma will have their eyes on the major assignment down under where they will be locking horns with Australia in 5 match www.cricksthal.comtest series starting late November which will be crucial specially for Aussies as Sri Lanka is making late inroads in WTC standings currently sitting at 3^rd position just below Australia.

But before that India will be facing Bangladesh in t20I and then will face New Zealand in tests at home where India will look to consolidate further in WTC (World Test championship) standings

There is no doubt that Rohit is a game changer and will look to put more cherries on his already glorious looking career.
