Rohit Sharma names the toughest bowler he has ever faced, Also picks the batsman with best 'Pull Shot'
Indian captain Rohit Sharma named the toughest bowler he has faced in his career.
Rohit Sharma is one of the best batters in modern-day cricket, and when it comes to hitting big sixes, there are not many that can match the strength of the Indian captain. Rohit has hit most sixes in 2023 across formats, and there are many more to come. He is currently preparing for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 in India.
Rohit was seen in action in the third and final ODI game against Australia in Rajkot, where he smashed a brilliant 81 off 57 balls with five fours and six sixes. He hit some big sixes during his innings, and what was remarkable to watch was how he picked up the length and played some brilliant pull shots for maximum. Amid the preparations for the World Cup, Rohit was seen in an interaction with journalist Vimal Kumar.
Rohit Sharma reveals the toughest bowler he has faced and best player to play pull shot
Rohit Sharma had a really interesting interaction with the journalist, where he answered some entertaining questions. The Indian captain, who is known for taking on the opposition with the bat in hand, also had a bowler in the past who was the toughest for him to face. When asked about this question, Rohit named former South African pacer Dale Steyn.
He said, "If a bowler who has ever challenged me and I enjoyed playing against him then I’ll have say Dale Steyn." The Indian captain is among the best pullers of the cricket ball in modern-day cricket. Whether it is on the front foot or back foot, he can hit from any length. But according to Rohit Sharma, the former Australian skipper Ricky Ponting played the best pull shot. Rohit also picked Virat Kohli for the best cover drive.
When he was asked about the best straight drive, the Indian captain named Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar. Rohit named Shubman Gill as the "rising talent' who has the potential to achieve big things in the future. Then, he picked Suryakumar Yadav for the player with the best scoop shot and the coolest player in the team, who is always calm under pressure. Rohit Sharma will be in action next in Guwahati, where India will face England in their first warmup game on September 30.
