Rohit Sharma and Gautam Gambhir
With 9 wins in 9 matches, Rohit Sharma’s Indian cricket team has showcased exceptional performance in the ODI World Cup, aiming to break a 12-year championship drought. Despite minimal changes in player composition from the 2019 World Cup, former India star Gautam Gambhir attributes the team’s success to Rohit’s leadership style.
Gambhir emphasized the continuity from 2019 to 2023 and praised Rohit for creating a secure dressing room environment. He highlighted Rohit’s track record with five IPL trophies and a remarkable winning ratio in international games. According to Gambhir, Rohit’s leadership style differs, providing security not only for himself but for all 14 players. The captain’s post-match affirmations of belief in his players and commitment to providing longer runs contribute to the team’s confidence.
During a discussion on Star Sports, Australian cricket legend Matthew Hayden applauded Rohit Sharma’s aggressive mindset, a key factor in the team’s success. Hayden pointed out Rohit’s ability to make batting appear effortless and his impressive strike rate of 130 within the powerplay. This aggressive approach has allowed the middle order, particularly Virat Kohli, to strategize effectively. Hayden, referencing Rohit’s previous miss in 2011, expressed confidence that in 2023, Rohit Sharma is poised for success and won’t miss out on making a significant impact on the tournament.
