Rohit Sharma Can Play Another World Cup If He Pushes His Fitness Like Virat Kohli: Muttiah Muralitharan
Sri Lankan cricket coach Muttiah Muralitharan has backed Rohit Sharma to play the T20 World Cup 2024, saying that his strike rate in the ODI World Cup was good enough for T20Is. He has not featured in any T20Is since India’s T20 World Cup semi-final exit in November 2022.
Rohit Sharma Will Play T20 World Cup 2024 If He Has The Desire: Muttiah Muralitharan
Renowned for his explosive batting style, Rohit Sharma’s prowess in the T20 format is profound. He has amassed 3853 runs in 148 T20Is, including 29 fifties and four centuries, with a top score of 118.
“You look at his ODI World Cup performance. The starts he gave, the kind of strike rates he batted at. He never failed in the tournament. And he’s only 36, that’s young. He can play another World Cup if he pushes his fitness like Virat,” Muttiah Muralitharan said in an interview to mark his biopic’s OTT release on JioCinema.
“Rohit batted with a strike rate of 130 in ODIs, which is not bad for T20. He’s an experienced player. You just have to work harder on your fitness after 35. If the desire is there, he’ll play. I think he’ll definitely play another World Cup. It’s on his mind,” Muttiah Muralitharan added.
