In response, Rohit Sharma asserted that it is needless to blame the players excessively. The Indian captain believed that the critics had been harsh on him without cause, even though he acknowledged that the players required constructive criticism. The criticism of Sharma’s IPL performance, his stats against left-handers, and other facets of his game was addressed.
The MI batsman concurred that receiving criticism is a normal part of being a cricket player. Rohit Sharma went on to say that he opposes critics who provide far more criticism than is necessary. Despite the criticism of his batting, he said he didn’t listen to it. The seasoned batsman asserted that criticism of him had no bearing on his batting.
“Sportspeople are subject to criticism. Criticism is vital and essential. But needless criticism is what I oppose. It bothers me. A lot of things were spoken about me. However, in an interview with Vimal Kumar, Rohit Sharma stated, “I don’t pay attention to any of it, and it doesn’t affect me.”
Rohit Sharma once said, “My job is to attack.”
The criticism of his performance versus the left-arm pacers was subsequently addressed by him. The right-handed batter believed that defending the deliveries against the left-arm pacers was not the best course of action. Rohit Sharma believed that the best defence was attack.
“A lot of things have been stated about me, such as that I can’t play fast bowlers with left arms, but I don’t care about it anymore. Now, many things could go wrong if you go and defend it. Additionally, you will be wasting time, and time is valuable. Attacking is what I do,” Rohit clarified. Z
Sharma hasn’t had a particularly successful IPL batting season for a while. Although he has performed admirably in the IPL 2025, particularly in the last five to six games, his overall batting record has drawn criticism.
