"On A Scale Of 10, I Give Him...": Sunil Gavaskar Rates Rohit Sharma's 1st Match As Full-Time India White-Ball Captain
Rohit Sharma began his tenure as full-time Team India white-ball captain with a six-wicket victory over the West Indies in the first ODI of their three-game series at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Chasing a target of 177 runs, Rohit registered a half-century to help his side reach 178 for four in 28 overs. The swashbuckling batter received plenty of praise from former India captain Sunil Gavaskar, who also rated his performance "on a scale of 10". Speaking on Star Sports, he said, "This is the kind of perfect start he wanted. Even before that he tossed the coin in such a way that Pollard called it wrong. So you got to remember that right from the beginning he got it right. Therefore with a win like this it is always a good start and he contributed to the win; in terms of scoring with what is your specialty, that is batting."
