Mark Waugh, an all-rounder for the former Australia cricket team, praised Rohit Sharma after India easily defeated Australia in the first Test match in Nagpur. Rohit seemed fully at ease against the Australian bowlers to slam a fantastic century, despite the fact that most experts anticipated the pitch to favor spinners. Initially, Rohit was “kind of an underdog,” according to Waugh, but over time, the India captain has developed into a definite match-winner in Test cricket.
“He (Rohit) has had an interesting Test career, hasn’t he? In the early bit of his career, he was an underachiever of sorts. He needed to work on his discipline. But, he has always had a touch of class, he has always had time like all the great players. He has a very simple technique. He has always been a match-winner in white-ball cricket, but he is a match-winner in Test cricket now,” Waugh said.
Nearly all of the Australian batters in the Test match battled against the spin attack, and Rohit was complimented for his effort. According to Waugh, the Indian captain’s variety of shots demonstrated his versatility and demonstrated how well he adjusted his game to the circumstances. “He has got the discipline, he has got the range of shots. It’s all about the mental game now. He is a class player, in all conditions. He plays well overseas, he has got a perfect game for Indian conditions. He has got the range, he watches the ball so closely, and he has got great hands. He reads the game well, he can go up the gear and down the gear, according to the situation.”
