Virat Kohli comments Rohit Sharma in World Cup 2019

India's vice-captain, Rohit Sharma, broke his third consecutive century and fifth in this tournament against Sri Lanka in the team league match on Saturday. However, the Indian captain, Virat Kohli, despite being extremely consistent with the bat, cannot register a ton in this World Cup. When asked at the pre-match press conference about whether the Indian captain would miss a century in the tournament, Virat said: "No, not at all, he has been a different kind of role than the one I had to play in the World Cup and as a captain of the team.”
Virat Kohli also appreciated India's first game and said he expects Rohit to gain two more centuries in his next matches so that India can win two more matches. He also mentioned that nobody in the team focuses on personal milestones. "Personal achievement, honestly, is something that no one ever focuses on.”In a team sport, you need to adapt, and I'm very happy to play that role and I hope you get two more so we can win two more games," Virat said.
In a tournament as big as the World Cup, the team deals with the constant pressure and expectations of the fans. Virat said that for the Indian team, each game is full of pressure and there are always stadiums filled with people who expect you to do well. He also added that although there is always pressure, there are opportunities and the Indian team is well equipped to handle those situations.
Manchester: For the team captain of India, Virat Kohli, and his former captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Vice-captain Rohit Sharma are like his left and right arm. He wants Sharma to reach seven centuries, with one in the semifinal and probably also the final, while he also hopes to make the most of Dhoni's guidance.
Kohli made it clear on the eve of his semifinal that he does not mind especially not having hitting a century. "It's been a different kind of role than what I had to play in this World Cup and, as team captain, I've been open to playing any kind of role that the team wants me to do.
"It's great that Rohit is scoring so consistently, which also means that in the latter half of the innings, you have to play a different role: control the average climbs and let guys like Hardik (Pandya), Kedar (Jadhav) and MS (Dhoni) in the last games and now Rishabh (Pant), they come out and express themselves, personal achievements, honestly, it's something no one ever focuses in. I hope he (Rohit) gets two more so we can win two games more (smiling) It's an outstanding achievement, I've never seen anyone get five hundred in a World Cup or in any tournament, the World Cup is a more pressured tournament, and it has been outstanding and deserves all the credit. He is the best ODI player in the world at this time. "
Speaking of Dhoni, are you planning a big farewell for Dhoni by winning the World Cup for him, like they did for Sachin Tendulkar? "I'm sure if you ask someone from the team (Dhoni), everyone will have special things to say, especially for us who started our careers under him." That respect will always be there because of the opportunities he gave you, the faith he showed. In us and the way he has handled the entire team in transition for so many years.
