Cricketing legend Wasim Akram has thrown down the gauntlet, declaring that amidst the discussions around stellar batsmen like Kohli, Kane, Root, and Babar, there stands a unique phenomenon named Rohit Sharma who outshines them all. Following Rohit’s scintillating performance against the Netherlands in the ICC World Cup 2023, where he scored 61 runs off 54 balls, the cricketing world is abuzz with admiration for the ‘Hitman.’
In a display of sheer dominance, Rohit not only contributed significantly with the bat but also etched his name in the record books by breaking AB de Villiers’ world record for the most sixes in a calendar year. The Indian captain slammed two towering sixes to surpass the South African legend, complementing his achievement with an impressive tally of 8 fours in the match held in Bengaluru.
Wasim Akram, known for his astute cricketing insights, highlighted Rohit’s unparalleled batting prowess. “There is no one like him. We talk about Virat Kohli, Kane Williamson, Joe Root, and Babar Azam, but he is different. He makes batting look easy. No matter what the situation is, he bats easily,” Akram emphasized, underscoring the distinctiveness of Rohit Sharma’s approach to the game.
