Speaking after the game, Rohit Sharma himself admitted that he was surprised by some of the shots he played. He said, “I was quite surprised as well actually. Didn’t expect to hit it like that, glad it came off. For the last 8-9 months I have been playing like that. You can’t really plan too much in such a shortened game.”
