'After Viv & Viru, Rohit can be most destructive'

The West Indies' forgettable tour of India will end in Chennai with the hosts looking to complete a 3-0 win. Though the ICC World T20 champions have been outplayed by the Indians, they will want a consolation win in the dead-rubber tie in Chennai.

With hardly any competition from the once mighty champions, the Indian players have had a field day with both bat and ball and some have cemented their places in the Indian team.

The standout performer in both the ODI series and the T20 series has been Rohit Sharma.

Like Virender Sehwag before him, he is unstoppable once he gets going and like Viru he has an appetite for big hundreds. When Viru used to get out looking to hit another delivery out of the park, there used to be consternation around the ground, just like it is when Rohit gets out to a seemingly casual shot.


On a more practical note, the adverse reaction to their dismissals is invariably due to our own selfish desire to see them go on batting and take the attack apart. It is our greed to keep watching them bat that adds to the huge disappointment when they get out. We could go on watching them bat.
If Rohit can turn his white-ball exploits into red-ball cricket, he will be the most destructive batsman in the world after Viv Richards and Virender Sehwag.
With Kuldeep rested, his good friend Yuzvendra Chahal is likely to get an opportunity to bamboozle the Windies batsmen.
