Player Profile: Rohit Sharma

In some circles he’s known as Nohit Sharma, as he barely hits the ball, and when he does, he’s wrongly given leg before. There’s a strong theory doing the rounds that Sharma should conserve his energy, and concentrate on the IPL. Instead he continues to be touted as the next big thing from Mumbai, shamefully compared to Sachin Tendulkar, playing more internationals than the quota of an entire generation of young cricketers. Is blessed with lazy elegance, though in unequal measure wherein lazy far exceeds elegance, but the selectors continue to think otherwise. There is another theory that Rohit is picked purely for his close-in catching, highly plausible seeing that chairman of selectors was a nifty fielder.
