Rohit Sharma Bowls In Nets Ahead Of Cricket World Cup 2023 Clash. Social Media Can't Keep Calm

Rohit Sharma has led India from the front in their three unbeaten matches of the World Cup to boost his cricket-mad nation's hopes of winning the title at home. The Indian captain has already amassed 217 runs including a record century against Afghanistan, showing no signs of the pressure on his shoulders.

Australia great Ricky Ponting lavished praise on Rohit for handling the pressure of the job with ease.
