View: Face it, Rohit Sharma is no gym rat, but a natural player with a Dad Bod

Hindustan Times  

There’s been a hit on the Hitman. Just a day before India play Australia in the Champions Trophy semifinal, Rohit Sharma has been called “fat for a sportsman” by Shama Mohamed, a Congress spokesperson. In his pre-semifinal comments, former Indian captain Sunil Gavaskar said that an opening batsman’s job was not to bat only for 10 overs and that Sharma should aim for a longer stay at the wicket. Players as great as Sourav Ganguly, Virender Sehwag, Inzamam-ul Haq and Shane Warne were rarely ever gym rats, doing just enough and letting their pure cricketing skills do the job for them. But Sharma’s default state, especially at age 37 and having won so much, is that of being a natural player with a Dad Bod.
