Jos Buttler On Rohit Sharma:
England wicket-keeper batsman Jos Buttler has praised Rohit Sharma for his effortless batting and the manner in which he takes the attack on to the opposition. Buttler also spoke about how in most games, Rohit has the ability to settle down and score big hundreds which put his side right on top.
“I think Rohit Sharma is a great player,” Buttler said on the Rajasthan Royals page during a live Instagram session. “Uncompromising. And a lot of Indian players have that amazing style. “Buttler spent the 2016 and 2017 seasons sharing the dressing room with Rohit at Mumbai Indians.
“One of the things I’ve seen with Rohit is he scores big runs when he gets in and really affects the game. Last year, he must have scored 4-5 hundred in the World Cup, “he said.
Speaking of the short ball strategy, Buttler said the Indian players have been better players against it, unlike the previous years. He said Rohit smashes the short ball and then waits for the full balls which he belts down the ground.
“The effortless way with which he cannot take players down even with the short ball, he is a very good player”.
“This isn’t really the case right now, but I remember people used to attack Indian players with the short ball a few years ago but Rohit smashes them. If you’re going more full and he’s crushing them right down the ground.
“For a long time he has been great and I just like the way he bats and the effortless manner with which he brings people down.”
