Former Bharat pacer Irfan Pathan has expressed confidence in Rohit Sharma’s potential to make cricketing history. According to Pathan, if Rohit can lead India to victory in the upcoming Test series against South Africa, he will be remembered as one of the top players and captains in Bharat cricket history.
Pathan emphasized Rohit’s dual role as both the skipper and an opener, highlighting the pivotal role he plays in the team.
Pathan explained that Rohit Sharma’s ability to handle the new ball will be crucial for Bharat’s success in the series. If the 36-year-old can negotiate the new ball effectively, it would set a solid foundation for the rest of the batting lineup. Pathan emphasized the importance of removing the shine from the new ball, allowing other batters to capitalize on the opportunity to shine.
Discussing the challenges ahead, Pathan pointed out that Rohit Sharma will have to juggle multiple responsibilities in the upcoming Test series. Drawing a parallel with Rohit’s performance in the Test series against England, Pathan commended Rohit’s preparation and determination.
The cricketer-turned-analyst highlighted Rohit’s role in playing out the new ball, scoring runs, and leading the team forward, acknowledging the many hats he will wear during the series.
Pathan mentioned the experienced duo of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli as the key players for India. He emphasized the dependency on both of them, stating that they are the most experienced players capable of handling various responsibilities. As Bharat faces South Africa in the all-format tour, Pathan expressed confidence in Rohit and Kohli’s ability to lead the team to success.
