Can a cricket titan fall? Rohit Sharma, the Indian captain whose bat has often been the nation’s saving grace, is now facing the harsh glare of criticism. With an average of 6.33 in the ongoing IND vs AUS Test series, Sharma’s performance has been less than stellar. But former cricketer Naman Ojha urges us to remember: form is temporary, class is permanent.
Ojha’s Confidence in Rohit Sharma’s Abilities
In light of recent criticisms following India’s performances in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Ojha remains optimistic about Rohit’s potential for a comeback. He stated, “Form might be temporary, but Rohit’s class is permanent,” highlighting Sharma’s significant contributions to Indian cricket over the past decade.
Ojha acknowledged the intense scrutiny players face, especially during demanding tours like the current series in Australia. He emphasized the importance of supporting players during tough times, noting that constant analysis and critique during a series might affect a player’s confidence. Ojha urged fans and experts to withhold judgment until the series concludes, stating, “We need to back our team, they are down on a difficult tour.”
‘Need to back our team’
Highlighting Rohit’s calibre as a match-winner, Ojha believes that Sharma’s innate talent and skills will enable him to overcome any rough patch. He appealed to fans to support the Indian team during these challenging times, expressing admiration and love for the squad. Ojha concluded by saying, “We need to back our team and analysis will be done after this series, not in between.”
Ojha’s remarks come at a crucial time, aiming to bolster the morale of both the players and supporters as India navigates the challenges of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
