India have reached the final of the 2023 World Cup with a massive win over New Zealand in the first semi-final. After winning the toss and electing to bat, India scored 397 runs for the loss of four wickets in 50 overs. In reply, the Kiwis were bowled out for 327 runs in 48.5 overs. Mohammad Shami’s historic haul of seven wickets, Virat Kohli’s 50th century and Shreyas Iyer’s fastest century sealed victory for India.
Now Pakistani legend Shoaib Akhtar has come to the scene by congratulating Indian skipper Rohit Sharma. He said that like Virat Kohli, Rohit can score 50 centuries and he plays a crucial role for the team.
Four of India’s top 5 power play scores in ODI World Cup history are from this tournament. Rohit only focused on capitalizing on the power play and giving the team a better foundation.
“He too could have scored 50 ODI centuries. He can still do it and it’s no big deal to him. Rohit is excellent both as a batsman and as a captain. He is blowing away the opposition team right from the start,”
Rohit is leading the team from the front with aggressive batting. Rohit’s big specialty is to play the opening aggressively in the matches. That is the reason for his exit.
Rohit Sharma, who opened for India, gave a good start. Rohit scored 47 runs from 29 balls including four sixes and four fours and attacked the opponents in a good manner. Rohit has performed well with a strike rate of 167.7. The hitman’s catch was caught by Kiwis captain Kane Williamson when he lifted the ball thrown by Tim Southee at the end of the performance.
