Virat Kohli praises ‘Hitman’ Rohit Sharma’s batting

TIL Desk Sports/ India captain Virat Kohli, on Sunday, hailed his deputy Rohit Sharma for his superlative batting display, saying it is easy to chase down any target when the Mumbai batsman is at the other end.

Kohli (140) and Rohit (152 not out) shared a massive 246-run partnership for the second wicket as India mowed down a challenging 323-run target with 7.5 overs to spare.”It feels pretty good. It was very convincing for us.

West Indies put up a really good total. 320 targets are very tricky, but we knew we could do it with a big partnership. It’s never too difficult when you have Rohit at the other end,” said Kohli.

“Among the top three, I mostly take the anchor role because both Rohit and Shikhar (Dhawan) are good stroke-makers,” he said. Kohli was adjudged man-of-the-match for his 107-ball knock and the India skipper said he enjoyed his batting on Sunday.
