Haider Ali Rohit Sharma Influence

Young Haider Ali on various occasions has revealed that India’s limited-overs vice-captain Rohit Sharma is his role model and that is purely due to the way he handles the best bowling attacks in the world with ease. Haider admires Hitman’s shot selection a lot and has revealed that he used to watch Rohit Sharma’s batting videos for reference.

Rohit Sharma was someone who made a successful transition from middle-order batsman to a top-order batsman. Haider who follows his footsteps has also made it clear that he has no issues playing at any batting position based upon the side’s needs. At the same time, he cleared that his preference would be always to play as an opener. He had been opening right from his Club cricket to Under-19 days. He loves to play an aggressive form of cricket and regard the pull, cut and drive as his staple shots much like Rohit Sharma.
