On Rohit Sharma's Success, Gautam Gambhir Drops "Because Of MS Dhoni" Remark

India captain Rohit Sharma on Tuesday crossed the milestone of 10,000 runs in ODI cricket. The 36-year-old achieved the feat during an Asia Cup Super 4 match against Sri Lanka in Colombo. From playing as a middle-order batter in his early days to becoming the fastest opener to reach the landmark of 8,000 ODI runs, Rohit has come a long way since making his debut in 2007. During his initial years with the Indian team, Rohit found it difficult to crack the code, until legendary India captain MS Dhoni converted him to an opener.

It was Kuldeep Yadav who bagged the most wickets for India in the Asia Cup 2023 Super 4 clash against Sri Lanka but he wasn't the only bowler who impressed skipper Rohit Sharma.

PV Sindhu Low On Confidence, Not A Medal Favourite At Asian Games: Vimal Kumar

Repeated failures in tournaments this season has dented PV Sindhu's confidence and not much should be expected from the ace Indian shuttler at the Asian Games, says former India coach Vimal Kumar. The double Olympic medallist has found the going tough ever since returning from a five-month long lay-off following an ankle injury en-route to the Commonwealth Games gold last August. Desperate to arrest the slide, the 28-year-old sought help of legendary Prakash Padukone and trained under him at his Academy PPBA in Bengaluru last week.

India spinner Kuldeep Yadav returned with impressive figures of 4 for 43 in 9.3 overs as the Rohit Sharma-led side defeated Sri Lanka in a low-scoring thriller to qualify for the Asia Cup final.

Watch: Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli's 'Moment Of The Day' Breaks The Internet

India captain Rohit Sharma has the reputation of being one of the finest fielders in the game. As India took on Sri Lanka in the Super 4 match on Tuesday, Rohit's catching abilities came in handy to the team. The Lankans truly tested the Indian team, first with the ball then with the bat. Despite India's early success with the ball, the hosts dug deep and threatened the visitors' progression to the final, especially till Sri Lanka skipper Dasun Shanaka was in the middle. It was Ravindra Jadeja who got rid of Shanaka, all thanks to a brilliant catch from Rohit Sharma. The importance of the wicket can be understood by seeing the sort of celebration Virat Kohli had with the skipper afterwards.
