'Hitman' Rohit Sharma labeled 'certified great' as Afghanistan stars share honest views ahead of IND vs AFG clash

Afghanistan National Cricket Team players in Mohammad Nabi, Naveen-ul-Haq, and Azmatullah Omarzai shared their views on the Indian captain Rohit Sharma ahead of the game between the teams at the T20 World Cup 2024. The match between the teams will be taking place on Thursday (20th June).

India and Afghanistan will be opening their campaign in the Super 8 stage of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. Both the teams will be locking horns at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados, and will be high on confidence, especially after their performances in the league stage of the tournament.

Going into the game, India captain Rohit Sharma will be extremely important for his team. The opening batter will be crucial for his team and on an individual basis, he would be keen to make an impact as he currently isn't having the kind of outing he would've wanted.

Rohit Sharma started the tournament on a high note. The captain played a magnificent innings on a tough pitch at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York against Ireland. He slammed a terrific half-century and helped his team win.

After that Rohit Sharma didn't look in great touch. He managed just 13 runs in the game against Pakistan and followed it up with another low total against the United States of America, where batting wasn't easy at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York.

However, going into the Super 8 stage of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 which will take place in the Caribbean, a massive responsibility will be on Rohit Sharma. The batter would be keen to provide the team with positive starts at the top and set the platform for the others to set a big total on the board in all the remaining games of the team.

As a captain, Rohit Sharma has been sensational in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024. He has led the team incredibly well and has made brilliant bowling changes. Therefore going into the Super 8 stage, a lot would be reliant on him not only as a batter but also as a a skipper.
