Is Rohit Sharma India's greatest cricketer?

Rohit is currently averaging 51 (34 + 17*) in the WTC final, the highest for an Indian batsman this match. However its not just the runs that leads me to think this, it is the ease in which he is batting. It feels like he is on a local maidan with not a worry in the world while some others in our team (who i shall not name) scratch and toil for so much less. Not only is his batting so majestic, sending fear into the Kiwi's spine as long as he is out there, but his catching is par excellence oh what a comforting sight to see it was seeing the great athlete dive to his right

Why do you keep jinxing even the slightest performance by Rohit Sharma...

54 runs (and counting) in the WTC as an opener, in these conditions, in England, is worth at least 150 in a conservative measure. This is no "slight" performance we are witnessing

There were people in this forum saying he will fold for single digits in england. On the contrary, he has looked most at ease. Where are they now? Will they show their face?

any sophisticated cricketing brain will recognise the context + conditions and factor that in

from now on any runs india gets half will be attributed to rohit for the contribution he's made in setting the platform and giving a cushion to kohli and co

Even I like Rohit but this is way OTP. He was awesome in the home series, scoring more runs in one innings than the entire English lineup. Here, he has shown good application and patience to exceed expectations, which, due to his weakness against swing were low to begin with. Let's hope he can get 1-2 hundreds against England from the confidence gained by these innings.
