Indian opener Rohit Sharma was one of the standout performers at the 2019 World Cup for India, scoring five hundreds – the most by a batsman in a single edition of the World Cup to end up with 648 runs in 9 matches.
David Gower believes it’s Rohit Sharma’s ability to stay in the middle for long periods which enhances his style of batting.
David Gower notched up 8231 runs in 117 Tests for England at an average of 44.25 with 18 centuries. He also turned out in 114 ODIs and scored 7 tons.
David Gower compares Rohit Sharma to Jason Roy
The stylish England southpaw was also not critical of Rohit Sharma’s inability to convert his ODI success into Test match form. David Gower compared Rohit Sharma to Jason Roy, who is also struggling to find his feet in Test cricket.
India’s most recent Test assignment was against the Kiwis in New Zealand, a rubber that they lost 2-0. Rohit Sharma was not part of that series, owing to an injury he picked up in the limited-overs leg.
Thus, at this juncture, the jury still seems to be out on whether Rohit Sharma can blossom as a Test opener in overseas conditions.
