Rohit Sharma's 125 off 128 balls (with wickets in hand) against SL in champions trophy proved detrimental to his team's cause. Batting first on a batting paradise knowing that 330 is a below par score and Indian bowling not good enough to restrict even a weak opposition like SL but still he played for his personal milestone. Luckily for Indians they won against SA otherwise it was bye bye for them. If I was an Indian supporter I would take someone like Gambhir 10/10 times over the likes of Sharma even though Sharma has scored 3 200s. Team over personal glory!
Calling Babar (who has a completely different role and limited in hitting compare to Sharma) selfish from a person like you who seeks attention and love to troll is not surprising though. I would have debated a bit more with you but i know its a waste of time.
I should have known better after you stated that Pujara is a better Test batsman than Kohli. I do not value your opinion, because you lack objectivity due to your hyper patriotism.
Rohit is no Kohli, but he is a phenomenal ODI batsman. Moreover, his “role” is actually similar to Babar; unlike Dhawan, he doesn’t tee off from the first over because he is the most dangerous batsman in the world when set.
That’s why he has numerous 150+ scores, because no one else in the team (other than Kohli) can do the job that he does. In fact, even Kohli does not have the gear that Rohit has.
I would be more than happy with Babar’s approach if he learns to finish his innings as brutally as Rohit does, who can score a 50 in 80 balls but still end up with 264.
The problem with Babar is that unlike Rohit, he is not able to go up several notches once he is set, which is he has been able to make an impact against the big teams yet.
If Babar achieves against top teams like Australia what Rohit has, you may pass out of excitement.
Your statements such as our young batsmen are better against pace and movement than their Indian counterparts, and that Haris is the best player of swing in Asia are baseless and nothing but hot air, and you will be left disappointed in due time.
Now please remind us again that you follow players in domestic cricket with great dedication and are not a fair-weather fan, because you clearly haven’t told us yet.
Please excuse my harsh tone, but don’t expect pleasantries when you repeatedly label the other person a troll and an attention-seeker instead of addressing the points in a civilized fashion.
I don’t like to make things personal and I don’t like to walk this path, be you have forced my hand.
If you want to chicken out of the debate under the guise of “oh you are a troll I don’t want to waste my time” feel free to do so, but moving forward, remember to play the post and not the poster.
Yes, my reputation is daunting, and I do raise points that are not music to ears, but you should realize that I never indulge in
ad hominem unless someone forces my hand, like you have now.
not sure if I should take you seriously. Not even once Rohit played like the innings Babar played against Australia chasing 350+. You have seen Rahul played enough. Then you are comparing their ODI stats and calling others are better. Again seriously?
