World Cup 2023: After thumping Pakistan in the IND vs PAK match on October 14, Indian skipper Rohit Sharma revealed the reason why he hits such long sixes. After India claimed a 7-wicket win over arch-rivals Pakistan with more than 29 overs to spare, star all-rounder Hardik Pandya donned the hat of anchor/interviewer. Hardik wasted no time and straightaway went to ask questions to his skipper Rohit.
Speaking about his celebration after smashing a six, Rohit said, “He (umpire Marais Erasmus) was asking me, ‘How are you able to hit such sixes? Is there something in your bat?’ I told him, No, it’s not the bat. It’s all power.”
