There is so much hype surrounding him, I don&rsquo;t think there is a need for that. He just returned to cricket, let him perform for at least a year then we can judge,&rdquo; said Rohit.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The flamboyant batsman also criticised people for comparing Amir with pace legend Wasim Akram.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&quot;He is talented, he is good, but then he needs to prove that over and over. I don&rsquo;t think it&rsquo;s appropriate to create so much of hype surrounding him.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&ldquo;People even have started comparing him to Wasim Akram, this is so very wrong. Let him at least achieve even a little of Akram&rsquo;s exploits, then we can talk of him.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&ldquo;He is just a normal bowler, it&rsquo;s not that he blows away batsmen every time he bowls. I don&rsquo;t think he deserves so much of hype,&rdquo; said the Mumbaikar.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Talking about the Indian bowlers, Rohit was all praise for old warhorse Ashish Nehra and the youngster Bumrah.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&ldquo;Instead of Amir we should talk about Bumrah, a rare talent who has already started to make a mark.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&ldquo;Of course he has long way ahead, but the way Bumrah has started, I think he will do something special for the country,&rdquo; said Rohit.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Rohit picked out &lsquo;unpredictability&rsquo; as a major weapon for Bumrah who so far has taken 15 scalps from 11 T20 internationals.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&ldquo;The best thing about him is he is very unpredictable. You really don&rsquo;t know what will he doing when he is bowling. In fact it is quite difficult to pick him up during the net.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&ldquo;He has got everything in his bag, he has got a good bouncer, a good yorker and a slower ball, he has everything what a modern day bowler needs,&rdquo; added Rohit.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Agency.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
