Delhi: Former South African team’s former explosive opener Harshile Gibbs retired from India’s Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli’s Test cricket, a major reaction to these two legendary players. He believes that technically Rohit Sharma is better than Virat Kohli. However, Kohli is considered the best batsman of the current era.
Both players announced retirement before the Test series against England. After retirement, a Twitter user shared two videos of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, showing how both react to the turning ball. The user said that Rohit tries different types of shots every time, while Kohli tries to play the same kind of shot.
He wrote, “This is the real difference between the two. Kohli tries to play the shot every time, even if he is out. He is unable to lift his game, but Rohit tries different shots every time, even though he is in a bad form. Kohli does not have the ability to mold himself, but Rohit has this ability.”
Herschelle Gibbs reacted to this and said that it depends not on the batsman, but on the batting coach that he gives more options to score the batsman. He said, “It is the responsibility of the batting coach to give the batsman more option to score, no matter what the batsman is… thank me later.”
After this, a user asked Gibbs, who is technically better than Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. To this, the former South African batsman replied, “Rohit was always technically better than Virat, but Virat’s desire to dominate the white ball cricket is a big difference between the two batsmen.”
Then another user disagreed with the talk of Herschel and said that Virat is technically better than Rohit. The user said, “I don’t agree with you… Technically, Virat is better than Rohit… Remember, Rohit was sent up and down many times… Even today I do not know what position he was comfortable in the test.”
On this, Herschelle Gibbs gave a befitting reply saying, “Have you ever seen Rohit defending the fourth or fifth stump balls? How many times Virat is dismissed in this way? Rohit is definitely better than Virat.”
