Fans on social media couldn’t contain their excitement and expressed their astonishment and anticipation, with some suggesting that Rohit’s bowling could add a new dimension to India’s strategy in the upcoming match. Interestingly, Rohit has a hat-trick to his name in the Indian Premier League (IPL).

This unexpected glimpse into Sharma’s bowling prowess has left fans eagerly awaiting the match, as they wonder whether the “Hitman” might just surprise everyone with his skills as a part-time bowler in this crucial World Cup encounter. 

Rohit concentrated a lot on his fitness: Amol Muzumdar

Meanwhile, former India’s domestic cricket stalwart Amol Muzumdar recently talked about Rohit and said that his exclusion from India’s squad in the 2011 ODI World Cup made him very upset. However, it didn’t affect his mindset as he moved on from Bandra to Borival to work on his fitness and make a comeback in the Indian team.

“See, Rohit Sharma played for India in 2007. He played in the world T20, won the championship, and then transitioned into the One-day squad. But when he was not picked in the squad for the 2011 World Cup, he was very upset. I’m aware he moved back from Bandra to Borivali. He also hired a fitness trainer, and that fitness trainer stayed at his house for 2-3 months. He concentrated a lot on his fitness and made his comeback from there on, and he’s not looked back since.”
