In order for India to succeed in renowned competitions like the current Asia Cup and the upcoming ODI World Cup, Rohit Sharma would have to play a significant role. The seasoned batsman’s Asia Cup didn’t get off to a great start as he was out cheaply in India’s opening game against Pakistan. He played better against Nepal, with an undefeated half-century.
But the true test came when they faced off against Pakistan’s bitter rivals in the Super Four against players like Shaheen Afridi and Naseem Shah. Sanjay Manjrekar lauded Rohit while pointing out that the Mumbai hitter has improved his defense since the most recent ODI World Cup in 2019 after regularly playing Test cricket.
With the help of six fours and four sixes, Rohit Sharma easily passed the test, smashing a commanding 56 off just 49 balls.
He achieved 500 in the most recent World Cup, correct? According to my evaluation of Rohit Sharma, his defense has actually become considerably better. Compared to 2019, he has significantly improved as a Test player. I’m therefore trouble-free. Because this necessitates running a lot of ones and twos later in the innings, it’s about turning those beginnings into massive hundreds. However, Rohit is more effective now in terms of sheer defensive quality. Manjrekar told Star Sports, “That inherent talent to make the big shots is still there.
You must schedule a game for Suryakumar if India wants to practice before the World Cup: Sanjay Manjrekar
Suryakumar Yadav has not yet successfully transitioned from the T20 format to the ODI one. By including the daring batsman in India’s 50-over World Cup squad, the selectors displayed courage. Manjrekar believed that Suryakumar should be given a chance in the middle order before the main event to see how he performs.
“KL Rahul entering at that position is important for Indian cricket because they wanted to assess his level of match fitness. You must play Suryakumar if India wants to hone its skills before the World Cup. We are still unsure about his One-Day credentials and whether he would have the same impact, Manjrekar continued.
