gator Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 As much talented as he is, he comes after Manoj Tiwary in my pecking order..... Tiwary got a chance earlier than him and lost out to a freak injury.... Based on watching both of them, both are hugely talented with Tiwary slightly more so.... Rohit has definitely proven he can handle the big stage mentally though..... not much to separate them in fielding.... But I love Tiwary's batting style... a mix of Yuvraj and Pieterson... I would love to see em both in the team... Link to comment

King Tendulkar Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 He is the real deal. The new Dravid. So composed today. Fantastic today Link to comment
Anakin Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 This was a dream innings by RS, executed perfectly, never got bogged down, used calculated aggression brilliantly and used the opportunity to bat with his idol perfectly. Link to comment
Mr. Wicket Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Class. Batted like a proper Bombay batsman. Gorgeous straight drives, some good innovation and the way he batted in tandem with SRT was awesome - loved how he targeted Bracken and smashed him around the ground to take pressure off Sachin when SRT was cramping up. Now I just want to watch these two bat together in a test. :D Link to comment
Bumper Posted March 2, 2008 Author Share Posted March 2, 2008 Bump. Sure enough, 4 months laterz, this kid looks good for the long haul. Link to comment
Lurker Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Sure does. My pick of the tournament thus far. Has played 3 quality innings, all under pressure. Ian Chappell rates him very highly. What catches my eye is his sheer confidence in the middle, he seems like he already belongs there. Good to see Indian think tank persisting with him, the lad needs a good long run. I would love to see him bat alongside Manoj Tiwary at number 3-4. Link to comment
Bumper Posted March 2, 2008 Author Share Posted March 2, 2008 He has the technique for an opener. I'd groom one of Tiwary/Raina at Rohit's slot & move Rohit to the opening slot. We need to groom an opener to replace Sachin, when he retires (which may be very soon). Rohit looks the best possible candidate for that position at the moment. Link to comment
rkt.india Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 in 1971 sunil gavaskar came, 18 years later in 1989 sachin tendulkar, and 2007 rohit sharma and all from mumbai what a coincident.......... Link to comment
Rajan Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 The more i watch Rohit Sharma bat, i some how get reminded of VVS Laxman. i think he has more similarity with Laxman than Sachin. his timing as well as lazy elegance. Class act. Link to comment
anbuchelvan Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 He is the real deal. The new Dravid. So composed today. Fantastic today Let him not become a cowardice,selfish back stabber. Link to comment
bharat297 Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 He is the BEST YOUNG BATSMAN we have at the moment. Link to comment
DomainK Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 I dont think there is a tougher test for a youngster than playing in Australia against Australia in a pressure situation while chasing. He came out in flying colors. What a superb knock that was. He has the talent, the attitude and the temperament. Link to comment
flamy Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 that partnership was the best thing that could have happened to Indian cricket :icflove: Link to comment
King Tendulkar Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Uthappa is quality as well despite recent failures. Not sure if he will be a great test player but will be regular in odis for a while. Uthappa is explosive Link to comment
DomainK Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Uthappa is quality as well despite recent failures. Not sure if he will be a great test player but will be regular in odis for a while. Uthappa is explosive I think there is distict space between Robin and Rohit....Rohit being the better one. Robin's habit of shuffling across does not seem to go away. He was doing that even in the last match. Its a big drawback for an opener. Rohit looks much more compact and his footwork is impeccable. Link to comment
