Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma
Indian batsman Sarfaraz Khan made his Test debut against England in February 2024 under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma. Sarfaraz Khan impressed everyone with his brilliant batting in his very first match. He took full advantage of the opportunity he got in the series against England and scored 200 runs in three matches with the help of three half-centuries. Sarfaraz also got full support from captain Rohit Sharma in this series. This is the reason why Sarfaraz respects Rohit Sharma a lot. Meanwhile, Sarfaraz Khan has given a big statement in praise of Rohit Sharma.
Rohit Sharma Aamir Khan of ‘Lagaan’
In fact, Sarfaraz has compared Rohit to Aamir Khan in Bollywood’s blockbuster film ‘Lagaan’. The 26-year-old young batsman said that Rohit treats everyone in the Test team with equal respect and maintains a happy atmosphere in the dressing room. Talking to Geo Cinema ahead of India’s Test series against Bangladesh, Sarfaraz Khan said that Rohit Bhai is very different. He makes you feel very comfortable. Rohit Sharma is like an elder brother. It is a lot of fun playing under his captaincy. Sarfaraz said that Rohit does not treat him like a junior, but treats everyone equally.
He said that Lagaan is his favorite movie. Just like Aamir Khan had created that team in the movie, in his eyes, Rohit Sharma is also like Aamir Khan for this team. Since taking over the captaincy from Virat Kohli in 2022, Rohit Sharma has led India in 16 matches.
Jureen called Hitman great
Meanwhile, wicketkeeper-batsman Dhruv Jurel praised Rohit’s effortless batting and said that he was surprised to see the opener playing from close range. Jurel also made his Test debut during India’s Test series against England earlier this year. He said that when he used to watch Rohit on TV, people used to say that he has a lot of time to play shots. But, when you watch him closely, it turns out that the balls you struggle with, he easily hits them into the stands. His pull shot is very famous. It is special to see these things closely. He is a great player.
