Aakash Chopra praises Rohit Sharma for telling “another beautiful story” in response to the latter’s uncompromising tone

Aakash Chopra, a former opener for India, praised Rohit Sharma for his noteworthy performance in the first Test match between the West Indies and India that is now taking place at Windsor Park in Dominica. At Stumps on Day 2, the tourists are 312/2 thanks to the Indian captain’s 103 off 221 deliveries. With Yashasvi Jaiswal (143*) and Virat Kohli (36*) at the crease, India holds a 162 run advantage after the first inning.

While analyzing the second day’s play, Chopra praised Rohit for playing a controlled knock. He offered an amusing analogy to the first batter’s strike, noting that the latter was traveling at 30 kph in a Ferrari.

“Rohit Sharma is a wonderful story, too. His tenth century in a test was scored. Imagine having a Ferrari that has a top speed of 200 kph and being required to drive it at a speed of 30 kph despite the fact that the road is clear in order to appreciate or comprehend what Rohit is doing.

Instead of putting it in cruise control, you should only press the accelerator that hard. After the first 15–20 minutes, you won’t be able to stop. Chopra posted a statement on his YouTube channel about Rohit’s practice of driving his Ferrari at a speed of 30 kph while still finding satisfaction in it.

Rohit is a Ferrari car who can hit fours and sixes whenever and against anyone, but to play this way: Aakash Chopra
Since he began opening the batting in the longest format of the game, Rohit Sharma’s game has changed significantly. Chopra continued to compliment the 36-year-old hitter, noting that he loves the more reserved approach that comes with playing at the top of the order.

The romance of playing Test cricket is, in my opinion, the most beautiful thing. Rohit’s opening persona, which we first witnessed in England and have seen frequently since, makes it abundantly clear that the player has begun to take pleasure in it. Rohit Sharma isn’t in that. He can hit fours and sixes anytime he wants and against anybody he wants, like a Ferrari, but to play in this way really adds another level of “wow,” the 45-year-old continued.
