India’s fast bowler, Mohammed Shami has lauded his teammate and the Hitman of world cricket, Rohit Sharma for his exceptional capabilities. Rohit is one of the greatest cricketers the modern-day cricket has ever witnessed. He is the only cricketer to have three double hundreds in the ODIs, and is also the only Indian to smash over 400 sixes in international cricket.
Sharma scored five centuries in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019. It bears testimony to the fact that he is a dominant act in the field of play. He is widely known for hitting gigantic sixes and scoring daddy hundreds in international cricket. His career has taken a steep rise since 2013 Champions Trophy wherein he along with Shikhar Dhawan emerged as solid opening pair for team India.
Now, one of India’s most improved pacers in recent times, Mohammed Shami has lauded his teammate for his brilliant show.
Mohammed Shami Heaps Huge Praise On Rohit Sharma
Speaking to Shami, Irfan said, “Sometimes, while I am commentating and watching Rohit Sharma play, I feel he is not a cricketer, but a poet. He bats as smooth as butter, like a poem. The bowlers don’t even realise that he is slamming, and he keeps on slamming.”
Shami added, “Exactly. I feel he is a package – to learn and to show what is cricket. He is pure batsman. If he is batting, you will get to learn a lot.”
“He will hit bowlers, and you get to learn. If you are a batsman, you get to see how much time he has to play a shot. You will also see how to bat in different conditions. He is a next level batsman. He is the best package,” he added.
Ishant Sharma Is The Best Bowling Partner: Mohammed Shami
Meanwhile, Shami was also questioned by Irfan to speak a few words on the rest of the Indian cricket team as well, and he particularly singled out Ishant Sharma as his bowling partner.
“Ishant is really funny. For me, as a fast bowler, he is the best partner. He has massive confidence, and great experience. As a human, on-field, and off-field, he is a great person. He is my best buddy,” he said.
