Former India player turned commentator Aakash Chopra applauded Team India opener Rohit Sharma following his 92-run knock off 85 balls in the third ODI against West Indies in New Chandigarh. He added that the star batter had the liberty to come out all guns blazing after scoring a century in the last match as well.

He said in his latest YouTube video: “The guy gave us a lesson. When you’ve scored a hundred in the last match, it’s very easy to hit straightaway in the next match, but he didn’t do that. He said, ‘No, I will struggle, look scratchy or ugly, but my team needs me to play like this.’ He has two hundreds in his last four innings, but this 92 was better than both hundreds.”

Aakash Chopra also shared how KL Rahul showed his class despite not getting a proper chance to bat in India’s recent ODI games. He lauded the senior player as the most versatile batter in world cricket.

“The chance eventually came, and he was absolutely ready. You keep this in mind: I won’t get chances again and again; whatever I get, I’ll capitalize on it. You definitely see his determination there. No matter how much we talk about KL Rahul, it feels like it’s not enough because he is the most versatile batter, not just in India, but across the world. The range of cricket that he has is incredible. I don’t think there is anyone like him in world cricket. Maybe Travis Head still comes slightly close, but I still rate KL Rahul a little better,” he concluded.
