I haꦅve mastered the art of watching cricket on mute and imagining commentary done by my favourite commentators. Just now it’s Tony Greg for Rohit Shaﷺrma’s shots 🙂 Uff . What would be your choice ?

When I was growing up, Salim 😼Durani was Mr Sixer in Indian cricket. Today, to a much larger degree, across any format, it is clearly Rohit Sharma. Amazing strike power!

Rohit coul🥂d be reported to the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Bowlers. Poor Mosaddek goes for 3 sixes in his first three baౠlls.

Got to admire 's ability as captain to stay calm and back his players during phases when his team his struggling. He’s done it numerous times during the IPL too. A trait that helps teams under him make a comeback in a game when all seems lost.
