Former Indian cricketer Mohammed Kaif, in an exclusive interview with Star Sports, shared his thoughts on the new opening combination.
According to Kaif, “Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill share a similar playing style, as they both tend to favor playing on the back foot. He praised the way they hit the ball square of the wicket, using pull shots and minimal footwork, highlighting their proficiency at hitting to the fine leg and cover point positions as particularly impressive.”
