Sunil Gavaskar takes a dig at Rohit Sharma ahead of Champions Trophy 2025 Final: ‘Happy with just scoring 25-30 runs’

Live Mint  

Former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has disagreed with Indian captain Rohit Sharma's style of batting hard in the early overs, regardless of the personal milestone. Sunil Gavaskar on Rohit Sharma's playing style: Speaking to India Today, Gavaskar said, "This is an approach he has been following for the last two years or so. He is an incredibly talented player with a range of shots that not many others in the game possess," "Therefore, from an aesthetic point of view, from a crowd-pleasing perspective-I am not speaking from the team's point of view-if he bats for even 25 overs, India will be around 180-200. Gavaskar further noted that the Indian captain should not be happy with just scoring 25-30 runs, stating, "That kind of impact is match-winning.
