The Indian opener and captain, Rohit Sharma, has not only been the backbone of the team’s batting lineup but has also set the stage on fire with his aggressive and selfless playing style.

From the inaugural match, Rohit Sharma showcased his prowess, providing fast and fiery starts to the Indian team in every game. His ability to relieve the pressure on the middle order has been commendable, setting the tone for India’s dominance in the tournament.

In the semi-final against New Zealand, all eyes were on Rohit Sharma, who has been a consistent performer throughout the tournament. Rohit started in a familiar fashion, scoring a quick 47 runs off 29 balls. His innings included an impressive display of power, hitting 4 fours and 4 sixes.

A historic moment unfolded during the semi-final clash when Rohit Sharma became the first batter to hit 50 sixes in ODI World Cup history. Surpassing the legendary Chris Gayle, Rohit achieved this milestone with a powerful pull shot off Trent Boult. The shot, sailing over the fine leg, marked his 50th six in World Cup history, solidifying his place as one of the most dynamic batsmen in the tournament.

However, every innings has its twists, and Rohit’s quest for another maximum ended in a strategic move by Tim Southee. Attempting to clear the boundary for a maximum over long-on, Rohit fell victim to Southee’s slower delivery. The ball went high in the air, but Kane Williamson’s acrobatic catch spelled the end of Rohit’s innings.

Adding a touch of humor to the match, renowned commentator Harsha Bhogle made a statement that resonated across social media platforms. During one of Rohit Sharma’s spectacular pull shot to Trent Boult, Bhogle exclaimed, “THE SHOT WAS LIKE ‘Hold my Vada Pav maybe.” This witty remark captured the essence of Rohit Sharma’s Mumbai connection, as the Mumbaikar is often associated with the beloved local dish, Vada Pav.

Rohit Sharma’s love for Vada Pav is no secret. As a true Mumbaikar, he has time and again expressed his fondness for this iconic Maharashtrian snack.
