Rohit Sharma Is Driven Not By Personal Milestone, But By Team Impact, Says Atul Wassan
Rohit Sharma: Former India cricketer Atul Wassan heaped praise on Rohit Sharma after the former India captain produced a fluent 57 off 51 balls in the first ODI against South Africa in Ranchi on Sunday. Rohit’s knock, marked by authority and clean ball striking, also saw him eclipse Shahid Afridi to become the player with the most sixes in ODI cricket, taking his tally to 352.
Rohit walked into the series on the back of a half-century and a century against Australia last month, and he carried that form into Ranchi, giving India a solid start after being put in to bat. His milestone-setting innings added yet another chapter to a career defined by timing, composure, and big-match temperament.
Wassan lauded Rohit’s natural ability and insisted that his batting gifts are incomparable. He said that Rohit’s talent is God given, and something that comes naturally to him; no coach can teach this. Expanding on Rohit’s six-hitting milestone, Wassan highlighted the context behind the achievement and the value it brings to the Indian team.
