Rohit Sharma: Currently one of the best openers in the world and Indian captain Rohit Sharma has brought a big change in his game in the last 2-3 years. Actually, now Hitman has started batting with a more aggressive attitude than before. Bowlers tremble to bowl in front of him. We saw an example of this during the ICC T20 World Cup 2024.

Rohit Sharma wreaked havoc by hitting 29 runs in a single over of dangerous pacer Mitchell Starc during the match against Australia. It will be very difficult for India to find a brilliant batsman like him in all three formats. However, the team's head coach Gautam Gambhir has discovered a promising player like him. This young player will replace Rohit Sharma in the future.

This stalwart will replace Rohit Sharma

Talented batsmen like Rohit Sharma come after decades. It is not without reason that this player has scored three double centuries in ODI cricket. In such a situation, Team India cannot be imagined without him. Currently, India has such a young batsman, who has the ability to fill the gap of this player to a great extent. Actually, we are talking about Rituraj Gaikwad, who plays domestic cricket for Maharashtra.

The right-handed top order batsman has consistently performed well for the Indian team since making his debut in international cricket. Not only this, the 27-year-old batsman also has the qualities to become an efficient leader. He has given an example of this in the Asian Games held in China last year. You will remember that the Indian team won the gold medal under the captaincy of Ruturaj Gaikwad.

Rituraj's career has been something like this

Ruturaj Gaikwad, who made his international cricket debut for India on 28 July 2021, has played a total of 6 ODIs and 23 T20 matches so far. He has scored 115 runs in ODIs. At the same time, in the 20-over format, the right-handed batsman has scored 633 runs with the help of one century and 4 half-centuries.

During this period, his strike rate has been 143.53. Let us tell you that this young player has not got a chance to make his debut in Test cricket yet. This can also be seen happening in the Bangladesh Test series.
