Former India cricketer Yograj Singh praised ODI captain Rohit Sharma and also reacted to his critics as well. He stated that Rohit should play for more nation for more five years.
Rohit Sharma retired from T20Is after India lifted the World Cup in June last year. Earlier this year in May, he also stepped away from Test cricket. However, Rohit will only play ODIs as a skipper and opener. He played his last match against New Zealand in the finals of the Champions Trophy in March.
“The man about whom so many people speak rubbish, Rohit Sharma – I said that day that Rohit will be my man, the man, my man,” Yograj said.
“The way he batted, his batting one side and the rest of the team’s batting on the other side. His innings on one side and the rest of the world on the other. That’s his class. You can say, ‘Rohit, aapki hume 5 saal aur zarurat hai yaar’ (Rohit, we need you for five more years, man) so please do more for your country, work on your fitness and everything. Put four men on him, make him run 10 kilometres every morning. He has the class to play till 45 years of age, if he wants,” he added.
Yograj Singh also reacted to Rohit Sharma’s fitness and game. He suggested Hitman to play and be involved more in domestic cricket as he needs to keep himself fit for the upcoming opportunities for the team.
“I believe you should play domestic cricket; the more you play that, the fitter you’ll be. Who got the Man of the Match in the final? Rohit Sharma. So you should only talk about things that you know. If you want to talk about his game and fitness, do that only if you have played at some level. Do you feel ashamed for talking like this?“
