Fri Sep 13 14:47:52 UTC 2024: ## Rohit Sharma Praised by Young Indian Cricketers for his Leadership and Batting Prowess
**Chennai, India** – Ahead of India’s upcoming Test series against Bangladesh, young Indian batsmen Sarfaraz Khan and Dhruv Jurel have showered praise on captain Rohit Sharma, highlighting his positive impact on the team.
Sarfaraz, who made his Test debut earlier this year, described Rohit as a “big brother” who treats all players with equal respect, creating a “productive environment” in the dressing room. Comparing him to Aamir Khan’s character in the Bollywood blockbuster “Lagaan,” Sarfaraz said, “He makes you feel comfortable. Like how Aamir Khan made that team in the movie, in my eyes, Rohit Sharma is like Aamir Khan for this team.”
Meanwhile, wicketkeeper-batter Jurel, who also made his Test debut against England, was awestruck by Rohit’s effortless batting style. “When you watch him from close, you realize that the deliveries that you struggle with, the deliveries for which your bat doesn’t flow properly, he is easily hitting them into the stands. His pull shot is very famous. Watching these things from up close is special. He is a GOAT,” said Jurel.
Rohit’s leadership has been lauded for its calming influence, creating a positive and relaxed atmosphere within the team. Both Sarfaraz and Jurel are part of the 15-man squad for the Bangladesh series, which kicks off on September 14th.
Rohit himself led the first training session in Chennai, demonstrating his commitment to the upcoming series. The young players’ praise of their captain sets the stage for a promising series, where the Indian team aims to continue their strong performance under Rohit’s leadership.
