Former India cricketer Abhishek Nayar heaped praise on batter Rohit Sharma, crediting his aggressive approach for the change in the way of playing ODI format.
The three-match ODI series of South Africa's tour of India 2025 is levelled at 1-1, making the hosts targeting a series-clinching victory third ODI scheduled to take place in Visakhapatnam on Saturday.
Abhishek Nayar analyzed Rohit Sharmas growth as an ODI batter, saying, Rohit Sharma has transitioned well in ODIs. From starting lower down the order, early on in his career to becoming a secure opener. This is where he truly evolved, changing how India plays white-ball cricket by adopting an aggressive approach focused on hitting sixes rather than just accumulating runs. His leadership by example, playing without worrying about centuries, has raised team standards, Nayar told JioStar.
