“Rohit Sharma Doesn’t Need To Be Taught To Score Hundreds”: India Star Backs Captain | Cricket News

India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin mentioned Thursday Rohit Sharma “doesn’t need to be taught to score hundreds”, backing his captain to the hilt after his failure to transform a blazing begin into a giant rating within the World Cup ultimate in opposition to Australia attracted criticism. Rohit was in full move all through the event and the brisk begins that India loved had been largely because of his pyrotechnics on the prime of the order. Scoring at an unbelievable strike price of 125, he amassed 597 runs in 11 matches.

However, Rohit obtained criticism from some quarters after an adventurous try and hit Glenn Maxwell out of the bottom within the ultimate led to his dismissal for a 31-ball 47, which set a strong basis however from the place his workforce couldn’t consolidate.

“Everybody says in hindsight that he would score 100 if he carried on, but it was his intent that made the team play in such a way. Rohit Sharma doesn’t need to be taught to score hundreds – he has had quite a lot – but it is the intent which counts,” Ashwin mentioned.

The seasoned off-spinner revealed he was shell-shocked by Australia’s choice to bowl first within the ultimate final Sunday, but in addition praised Pat Cummins and selector George Bailey for studying the pitch at Ahmedabad completely.

Australia outsmarted India on many fronts of the summit conflict as they clinched their sixth World Cup fin, beating the title favourites, who had been on a 10-match profitable spree, within the ultimate performed on the world’s largest cricket stadium.

“Australia were practically outstanding in the final. I was shell-shocked to see their tactics. Australia has deceived me personally, as their history goes by, they say ‘we are going to have a bat, mate!’ after winning the toss in the big finals,” Ashwin mentioned in his newest YouTube video on Thursday.

“I was praying to the lord that Australia should do that, because many people do not understand that the soil in Ahmedabad was like Odisha’s, as in, it played like how any soil taken from the eastern part of the country would play – if every pitch gets bounce until the knee, this would get bounce only up to the shin,” he mentioned.

“The bounce will be less, but the soil won’t disintegrate because the clay does not release the moisture, but holds it,” Ashwin added.
