Mar 11, 2017 at 9:50 AM
South Africa born England opener Jason Roy has simply been a revelation for his side at the top of the order. The destructive right-hander has completely revamped England’s ODI outlook and thanks to his colorful starts at the top, today, England is on the verge of becoming a dominant ODI powerhouse. With three centuries in 38 ODIs and the strike-rate almost touching 105, it’s fair to say that Roy has been a pillar of strength for his team.
The opener though isn’t just satisfied and is aiming for more glory. After impressing massively in India where he scored three half-centuries in as many games, Roy is now eager to become a big match winner for England.
“Personally I want to be known as a guy who is going to win matches and score big hundreds,” Roy said.
“I want to be that solid guy at the top of the order. Yes, you can make quick 50s and 60s every now and then but big hundreds are at the forefront of my mind to be honest.”
The destructive batsman mentioned he is eager to amass a few centuries down the line.
“I understand the role but personally that’s not the way I want to be known as a cricketer.
“I want to be known as a guy who is going to win matches and score big hundreds. Fifties, sixties and seventies don’t win you games; big hundreds win you games and that’s what I want, this is a huge opportunity for me,” he concluded.
