ICC World Cup 2019: Rohit Sharma’s Bat Swing Is As Clear As A Pendulum – Sachin Tendulkar

What a brilliant season so far for Rohit Sharma in the ICC World Cup 2019? The flamboyant batsman showed his class by knocking the runs on a consistent basis to make things fall in place. Meanwhile, the Mumbaikar Sachin Tendulkar reveals an interesting story regarding Rohit Sharma.

Rohit Sharma has already scored five centuries in the ongoing World Cup, most for any batsman in a single edition of the marquee event, and cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar attributed the fellow Mumbaikar’s consistency to his mindset.

Legendary Indian National Cricket Team‘s batsman Sachin Tendulkar spoke to India Today on Sunday to preview the highly anticipated match. Sachin Tendulkar called Rohit’s batting ‘poetry in motion’ crediting his beautiful bat-swing for the opener’s continuing success at the World Cup 2019.

Rohit, who also hails from Mumbai, scored a hundred each against South Africa, Pakistan, Bangladesh, England and Sri Lanka and is also the leading scorer in the tournament.

“Long time back, Kiran More who was the selector for U -19, had told me ‘you have to look at this kid named Rohit Sharma. He has got a superb bat swing. Every now and then I’m asked about what is so special about Rohit Sharma and I think it is his bat swing, which is as clear as a pendulum and not many guys have that.”

”I have heard he wanted to (be) bowler. However, then slowly because his coach asked him to focus on batting, he shifted to that and what he has achieved along the way is simply remarkable,” said the batting great,” Tendulkar said during a TV show.

On a concluding note, Sachin Tendulkar, who has numerous records to his credit, said Sharma’s approach of playing each match as his first, was a great thing. Rohit Sharma was just 27 runs away from becoming the highest run-scorer in a single addition of the ICC World Cup 2019.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t do that in the semifinal against New Zealand team, as he was caught behind for just one run to his name. Hopefully, he would get a game if Middle-order sees India’s home.
