Pragyan Ojha believes Rohit Sharma’s innings in the third T20I between India and Afghanistan demonstrate his and Virat Kohli’s worth to the Men in Blue.
Rohit scored an unbeaten 121 off 69 to help India reach 212/4 in the final T20I in Bengaluru on Wednesday, January 17.
Although the regular game and the first Super Over were tied, the hosts finally won the battle in
the second Super Over, completing a 3-0 series sweep.
During a Colours Cineplex discussion, Ojha praised Rohit for adapting to the situation, stating that the scenario was dismal.
When he started, he knew they were bowling well and at excellent lengths, so he respected them.
However, he continued to drive the game, taking each step methodically.
It demonstrates why Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are so crucial to this squad.
It’s critical not just for you to perform in such situations, but also for the youth to accompany you, the former India spinner remarked.
Rohit smashed 11 fours and eight sixes during his unbroken 121-run innings.
Apart from his century in the regular game, he scored 24 of India’s 27 runs in the two Super Overs.
