Rohit Sharma May Aim for Big Score in the Final

Rohit Sharma is widely regarded as one of the finest batsmen in the world, renowned for his ability to amass impressive scores in One-Day International (ODI) matches. Rohit unleashes fierce attacks on bowlers while maintaining his remarkable ease, flexibility, and refined elegance.

Thanks to his impeccable techniques and profound timing, Rohit Sharma has managed to score three double centuries, including the highest individual score in ODIs, a remarkable 264 against Sri Lanka on February 13, 2017. However, in the ongoing ODI World Cup 2023, which is set to conclude today with the India-Australia final match in Ahmedabad, the picture presents a slightly different narrative. Here, Rohit has only managed to score one century despite registering three half-centuries.

From India”s perspective, this performance falls short of expectations, as Rohit was anticipated to deliver substantial runs. The World Cup has witnessed Rohit”s inability to convert half-centuries into centuries. As far as Team India is concerned, Rohit”s batting is crucial, as he has the potential to single-handedly steer the team towards success.

The issue plaguing Rohit is his excessive aggressiveness. He attempts to capitalize on the powerplay overs to accumulate maximum runs. However, once the powerplay overs conclude, Rohit struggles to maintain his presence on the crease.

In the last 10 matches, Rohit Sharma has amassed 222 runs at a strike rate of 123.52 during the powerplay overs. Therefore, Team India coach Rahul Dravid”s primary focus ahead of the finals might be to ensure Rohit”s extended presence on the crease.

As former national team player Akash Chopra aptly pointed out in his tweet, “Rohit”s presence for 10+ overs is enough to set the tone for the finals. Especially if it”s a slow pitch that”s not ideal for a huge total. So…if you”re praying for something specific for today”s game, just pray for Rohit”s extended run in the middle. Rest will take care of itself. #CWC2023Final #IndvAus.”
