The Cricket World Cup 2023 is set to begin on October 5, and India will be one of the favorites to win the tournament. Rohit Sharma is one of the key players for India, and he will be looking to lead his team to victory. Australian bowler Jhye Richardson believes that Rohit Sharma is a dangerous threat to the Aussie bowling attack.
Jhye Richardson told Fox Sports: “Rohit Sharma is a great player. When you bowl to Rohit Sharma and he goes over maiden, then you should not consider yourself a top bowler. When you bowl him the next over, he will hit you for 20 runs in the next over.”
Richardson is not a part of Australia’s World Cup team, but his words are a warning to the Aussie bowlers. Rohit Sharma is one of the most destructive batsmen in the world, and he can take the game away from the opposition in a matter of minutes. Rohit Sharma has been in excellent form in recent months.

Rohit Sharma scored 81 runs in 57 balls in the third ODI against Australia, and he is just one six away from breaking Chris Gayle’s record for most sixes in international cricket. He will be looking to continue his good form in the World Cup, and he will be a key player for India. If he gets set, then he can change the course of the match in a matter of a few overs.
Despite his incredible form, Rohit Sharma has always struggled in the starting phase of an innings. He is often vulnerable to early dismissal, and Australia will be looking to exploit this weakness.
Australia will likely try to bowl Rohit Sharma out early by bowling tight lines and lengths. They may also try to bowl him bouncers to test his temperament. If Rohit Sharma can overcome his struggles in the starting phase of an innings, then he will be a very dangerous player in the World Cup. He has the potential to win matches for India on his own.
