Umpire Anil Chaudhary Praises Rohit Sharma’s Sharp Cricketing Mind Despite His Casual Persona
Anil Chaudhary highlights Rohit Sharma’s cricketing intelligence, emphasizing that his casual demeanor belies his sharp game sense and exceptional skills.
Indian cricket captain Rohit Sharma, known for his laid-back demeanor and playful reputation for forgetfulness, has garnered praise from umpire Anil Chaudhary for his exceptional cricketing intelligence. Despite his seemingly casual persona, Sharma is recognized for his sharp game awareness and brilliant batting skills.
In a recent podcast, Chaudhary commended Sharma’s ability to perform under pressure, noting, “Rohit may seem casual, but he’s a very smart player. Don’t be fooled; his game sense is exceptional.” Chaudhary elaborated on Sharma’s batting prowess, highlighting his ability to make difficult deliveries appear easier and his remarkable ball sense.
Chaudhary remarked, “When Rohit is batting, it feels like the bowlers are delivering at 120 kmph, but for others, it seems like 160 kmph. His footwork is excellent, and he waits for the ball rather than rushing forward. His short-arm pull shot is remarkable.”
He also shared an anecdote from a match where Sharma scored over 200 runs, showcasing his dominance. “I was a TV umpire in that match. The yorkers that troubled others were being hit for sixes by Rohit. He may appear lazy, but he has a deep understanding of swing and other nuances of the game.”
Chaudhary praised Sharma’s batting, stating, “When Rohit is in his flow, he’s a one-man army. His batting is like music to watch. His captaincy is good, but his batting is something else entirely.”
Despite Rohit Sharma’s occasional forgetfulness and casual demeanor, Umpire Anil Chaudhary’s comments underscore that he remains one of the most intelligent and skilled cricketers in the game today.
