Alyssa Healy wants to replicate Rohit Sharma's success across formats

The Hindu  

Top Australian cricketer Alyssa Healy says she seeks inspiration from Rohit Sharma and wants to replicate the flamboyant Indian opener's success across all three formats. RELATED| "It's a tricky one because I've only played four Tests so I wouldn't say I'm overly comfortable with how to play or how to approach a Test," Healy was quoted as saying at a 'Fox Cricket' launch event for the series. I look at someone like Rohit Sharma who is one of the most devastating white-ball batters in the world and yet he's a really successful opener in Test cricket." At the women's T20 World Cup last year, India had drawn first blood taking the opening match on the back of senior spinner Poonam Yadav's brilliant spell.
