Champions Trophy: Rohit Did A Marvellous Job In Captaincy And With His Batting, Says Ex-pacer
Laxmi Ratan Shukla: Former India pacer Laxmi Ratan Shukla heaped praise on Rohit Sharma's leadership skills and his batting after Men in Blue beat New Zealand by four wickets in the final to lift their third Champions Trophy title on Sunday.
Chasing 252, Rohit scored 76 laced with seven fours and three sixes to set the foundation for the chase as Shreyas Iyer (48), Axar Patel (29), Hardik Pandya (18) and KL Rahul (34 not out) also contributed with the bat to take the side over the line in Dubai. It was Rohit's first 30-plus score in the tournament as the opener failed to convert a good start in the last four matches in Dubai.
"It was a fantastic win. We were all talking about Rohit Sharma's form not being great. I knew his form was good but he was getting out early. Yesterday he played cautiously and won the trophy for India. Virat Kohli got out early and after his dismissal team's balance got uneven but Indian batters played well to claim the trophy," Shukla told IANS on Monday.
