Indian speedster Mohammad Shami has praised Rohit Sharma and termed him as a ‘Pure Batsman’. During an Instagram Live session with former Indian pacer Irfan Pathan, Mohammad Shami hailed his teammate Rohit Sharma’s batting skills and termed him a ‘package’.
What did Mohammad Shami say?
The pacer from Bengal was in conversation with Irfan Pathan on Instagram Live when he went to praise his teammate and the vice-captain of Indian limited-overs setup Rohit Sharma. Shami said –
I feel he is a package — to learn and to show what is cricket. He is a pure batsman. If he is batting, you will get to learn a lot.
Shami also added that bowlers also get to learn a lot while bowling to Rohit.
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.
Mohammad Shami added.
Rohit is not a cricketer but a poet – Irfan Pathan
Former Indian pacer Irfan Pathan also praised Rohit Sharma and termed him ‘a poet’. Irfan said watching Rohit bats makes him feel like Rohit is not a cricketer but a poet.
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.
Pathan told Mohammad Shami.
