Harsha Bhogle disappointed at Rohit Sharma’s failures – Cricket News Update
Harsha Bhogle, the famous cricket analyst, is extremely disappointed that http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 five years ago.
Rohit, 25, made his way to the global arena in 2007, making a massive impact during the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757 and helping his team clinch the title.
Later on, the stylish right-hander played a huge role in his country’s success in the CB Series 2008, and most of the pundits predicted a great future for the youngster from http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Maharashtra-c811.
The stroke-maker however, has so far failed to live up to the expectations attached to him, averaging only 30.84 runs per innings in the 85 One Day Internationals (ODIs) he has played till date. Sharma had a good time in international cricket in 2011, winning
two Man of the Series awards against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760, at home as well as in the Caribbean, but the current year has seen him in decline, managing just one half-century till date.
Rohit has had a miserable just-finished tour of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758, calling for immense criticism from different ranks.
In his article for ESPNcricinfo, Bhogle expressed his disappointment over Sharma’s failures and stated that the young batsman will know very soon that talent is not the only thing needed to succeed in international cricket.
"One day, very soon, Rohit will realise that greatness is not about possessing talent but about having the discipline to summon that talent whenever needed," he expressed.
On the other side of the coin, the cricket pundit was all praise for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/V-Kohli-c2737, who has made certain adjustments in his game and attitude since the last three years, which has helped him become one of the leading batsmen of world cricket.
"At some point in the last four years Kohli realised that there was a virus within him," Bhogle wrote. "Whatever it was, a new Kohli emerged; someone who could hit the ball very well but someone who was, at most times, in control of himself and with a better
focus on life. The battle with himself that Rohit was losing was the battle Kohli was winning."
