Delhi: New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner admitted that Indian captain Rohit Sharma’s aggressive batting bowlers create fear. In the final of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, Rohit batted vigorously against the New Zealand fast bowlers. His 76 -run innings helped India achieve a target of 252 runs with four wickets. After the match, Santner praised Rohit and his opening partner Shubman Gill, saying that he put full pressure on Kiwi bowlers.
‘Bowlers create fear’
Santner said, “If you ask Rohit in which match he had to score the most runs in the tournament, he might have chosen the final. His batting style creates fear in the bowlers. She and Shubman Gill are a great couple. Shubman wait for bad balls, while Rohit specializes in removing the bowlers from his line-length. ”
He further said, “Rohit’s way of playing gives the team benefit by giving a fast start on slow pitches. Even today he did the same. The powerplay of the Indian team was excellent and we came under pressure in the beginning. When he had scored 100 runs without losing wickets, then we felt that the match was coming out of hand. Rohit’s style can sometimes fail, but when he walks, he alone has the power to win the match, as he did in this final. “
Rohit’s performance in Champions Trophy 2025
Rohit Sharma scored 41, 20, 15 and 28 runs in the first four matches. However, he played the most important innings of 76 runs in the final. It consisted of seven fours and three sixes. He was adjudged ‘Player of the Match’ for this great performance.
