Rohit Sharma shows a new direction to Indian cricket
The Indian cricket team is currently busy in the Champions Trophy. After winning the first 2 matches, Rohit Sharma & Co. have confirmed their place in the semi-finals. The Indian team also has to play its last group-stage match against New Zealand in upcoming cricket matches before the semi-finals. In the Champions Trophy, India defeated Bangladesh in the first match and, in the second match defeated the arch-rival Pakistan team one-sidedly. While Shubman Gill scored a century in the first match, Virat Kohli scored his 51st ODI century in the second match. But amidst all this, Rohit Sharma once again got out after giving the team a fast start. While 41 runs came off his bat in the first match, in the second match he scored 20 runs off 15 balls.
A player who is known not for his centuries but for his double centuries, today that player is playing for his country, and for his team in a very fearless manner. It started on the day when India lost to England by 10 wickets in the T20 World Cup 2022 semi-finals. Rohit had tears in his eyes.
After this, he decided to change the style of playing of the team. Whose responsibility he took himself. First of all, Rohit Sharma scored 597 runs in the ODI World Cup 2023. He also played a tremendous innings of 131 runs against Afghanistan. He also missed his century against Pakistan and England and got out many times around 50. Due to his fast start, batsmen like Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul used to score easily in the middle overs. India reached the final by winning 10 consecutive matches. In the final too, Rohit got out after scoring 47 runs but luck did not favor India that day. India lost the final but the Indian team won the hearts of the people of their country. Rohit’s same approach continued in the T20 World Cup 2024 as well and India was successful in winning the T20 World Cup without losing a single match in the same style Rohit is also playing in the upcoming Champions Trophy. Now it remains to be seen whether India will be able to win the upcoming cricket match and win the Champion Trophy title.
Rohit Sharma has 11,049 ODI runs in his international career. He has 32 centuries and 57 half-centuries. He is the only batsman in cricket history now, who has 3 double centuries in ODI cricket but only for his team he sacrificed his natural game. If we look at some of his cricket scores, then Rohit scored 264,209, 208,171 and many big innings in his ODI career. He has a dream to win the ODI World Cup once in his life. Will he play one more 50-over World Cup? According to many media reports, Ongoing Champions Trophy 2025 is his last ICC tournament but will Rohit make it possible to play another ODI World Cup?
