Can Rohit Sharma deliver consistently? Sanjay Manjrekar weighs in on possibility

Former Team India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar expressed his views on Rohit Sharmas skill to perform constantly as he did in 2019After months of raising questions about his future in the team Rohit Sharma silenced the critics by smashing a matchwinning century against England in the second ODIAfter the swashbuckling display that left the spectators mesmerised Sanjay Manjrekar was quick to point out the amount of energy that knock consumed considering the demanding nature of 50over cricketYou could see it took a lot out of him that inning Fifty overs cricket can be physically very demanding for bowlers fielders and batters Virat Kohli knows how physically draining it can be and that is why his fitness level has allowed him to still get those hundreds by running the ones and twos Sanjay Manjrekar said on ESPNcricinfoAlso ReadFormer Sri Lankan cricketer Muttiah Muralitharan promotes Sports Beverage SpinnerHe blended his power and endurance to perfection on his way to 119 off 90 deliveries For his 32nd ODI century Rohit adopted a different policy Instead of going all guns blazing from the first ball he fended off a couple of deliveries before launching his scathing attackRohits approach wasnt the one that he used to cause menace in the 2019 ODI World Cup He was a class apart from the rest of his rivals and ended the tournament with 648 runs in nine matchesOut of his nine appearances Rohit hammered a century five times and a sole fifty at a stunning average of 8100 while striking at 9833 Consistency was the key to Rohits success in 2019 and Manjrekar isnt sure about the Indian skipper replicating it in 2025Rohit Sharma had a different template where he didnt have to run too much It was amazing how he got his second double hundred But at this stage of his career when you watched him go through the whole process and get that big hundred he wanted it Whether he can do it day in and day out like he did in 2019 we will have to wait and see I have my doubts But both versions of Rohit Sharma 2019 and 2023 are excellent for Indian cricket he saidSpeaking about Rohits knock Sanjay Manjrekar said that the veterans century was for the teams cause but it held much more importance for the skipper on a personal levelHe wasnt as attacking or looking to give India a flyer as he did in the World Cup But still when he decides to pace his innings it is incredible how easily he does it He was very selective in the way he played his shots I have a feeling maybe in the next match he will play again the way he thought was the best for the team but this one was more for himself Obviously he wanted the team to win but this is the one he will say is for me he addedWith ANI Inputs
