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’.
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.
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.
