When India plays South Africa in the T20 World Cup 2024 final on June 29 at the Kensington Oval in Barbados, Rohit Sharma has been the centre of attention. Throughout the competition, the captain of India has led his side to the penultimate match undefeated.

The captain of the Men in Blue did a fantastic job of rotating his bowlers during the team’s defensive of a low score of 119 against Pakistan. Keshav Maharaj, a South African spinner, acknowledged his admiration for the top Indian batsman and praised his fearless approach.

“I’ve always been a major Rohit Sharma fan. When it comes to batting, he is fearless. You can see he had a great sense of leadership and how effectively he read the game. He manages to gather everyone together and make them all feel at ease. However, I think what really strikes out to me about him is how tactfully he approaches each character on the pitch and brings out their greatest qualities’, Maharaj said Star Sports.

He seems to have an incredible cricket brain, in my opinion. very brave. As a captain, he makes a lot of bold decisions. He certainly likes to play with your ego.

In the end, hopefully, he won’t be playing well against us,” Heinrich Klaasen remarked.
