Kris Srikkanth Calls Rohit Sharma One of the Best Openers...
India opener Rohit Sharma is considered as one of the best openers in the limited-overs format in recent times. However, his career took a huge turn when former India captain MS Dhoni asked him to open for India in the 2013 Champions Trophy. Since then, he didn’t have to look back as he became a swashbuckling opener for India. And former India chief selector Kris Srikkanth believes that he is one of the best in the business.
While speaking on Star Sports show Cricket Connected, Srikkanth praised Rohit Sharma, "I think I would rate him as one of the greatest all-time one-day openers in world cricket. What's the greatest quality Rohit Sharma is that he goes for these big hundreds and double hundreds, that is something amazing.
"In a one-day cricket match, you will go 150, 180, 200, just imagine where you are going to take the team to, that's the greatness about Rohit Sharma. He is definitely, probably is in the top 3 or 5 all-time greatest openers as far as one-day cricket is concerned."
Recently, former India speedster Irfan Pathan also said that Rohit is way more talented and shared how the talented youngster used to work hard in his early days even if it doesn’t express from his body language. He also compared him to domestic cricket legend Wasim Jaffer and said they both are kind of same as they look relaxed always, take time to settle down and it looks as if they have a lot of time.
Pathan again said that from outside many used to think he might need to work hard but whenever the former used to speak to him he always talk about the team first and that is why his Indian Premier League franchise Mumbai Indians is the best team in the cash-rich league. Under Rohit’s leadership, Mumbai has won the title four times since its inaugural season.
