Rohit Sharma gives a hilarious answer to which bowler he likes hitting the most

India’s ODI captain Rohit Sharma gave an interesting answer when he was asked about his favorite bowler to hit. He said he looks to play aggressively against every bowler and put the opposition under pressure. 

Rohit is known for his attacking game, especially in the white-ball format and loves to hit the ground running. In 499 International matches, Rohit has smashed 637 sixes, which is the highest by any batter. Chris Gayle is in second place with 553 maximums under his belt.

Rohit is also regarded as one of the best pullers in the game and after the T20 World Cup 2021, he adopted an even more aggressive approach at the top of the order.

Rohit Sharma said at an event in Mumbai, “Sabhi log hain yaar. Kisi bhi bowler ke saamne jab batting karta hoon yehi sochta hoon ki usko maarna hai mujhe. Aisa koi nahin hai, ek hee banda hai, usko hee maarna hai mujhe. Baaki sabko de dena hai. Bowler log bhi yehi sochte hain, mujhe usko out karna hai, mujhe sabko out karna hai. Waise hee batsmen ka bhi waisa hota hai.”

“Mera toh aisa hee hai, kisi ke baare mein toh bol nahin sakta. Par mera aisa thinking hota hai ki, jo mere saamne aayega, mujhe accha karna hai aur usko pressure mein daalna hai. Mere apne tareeke hain pressure mein daalne ke, toh main koshish karta hoon.”

(Everyone, man. Whenever I bat against any bowler, I only think of hitting runs against him. There’s no one bowler on my target and leave everyone else. Even bowlers think the same way that we want to get everyone out. Same is for batters. That goes for me, I can’t speak for anyone else. Whoever comes in front of me, I’m determined to do well and put him under pressure. I have my ways and I try to do it.)

Rohit recently announced his Test retirement in May. He will be next seen in action in the three-match ODI series against Australia in October.
