He has definitely gone a notch higher: Sachin Tendulkar praises Rohit Sharma after his recent performances
Legendary batsman Sachin Tendulkar has heaped praise on Rohit Sharma for his outstanding performances as a Test opener in the recent past. He pointed out that Sharma had exhibited a different side of his game during the Tests in England and showed admirable temperament.
Speaking to PTI, Tendulkar said:
"Whatever I have seen, I feel he has taken the lead and he has shown the other side of his temperament and how he can change his game and adapt to the situation and play accordingly. He has been a leader there and KL has supported him brilliantly. As far as playing pull shot is concerned, he has cleared the fence with that shot and I am looking at what he has been able to achieve for the team in both Tests."
Tendulkar added:
"Rohit has left the ball and defended the ball brilliantly or equally well. He was always a fantastic player but seeing his last few innings in England, I can say he has definitely gone a notch higher."
