‘Something special is coming’- Yuvraj Singh backs Rohit Sharma to repeat 2019 World Cup performance.
Anticipation is reaching its peak across India as the ODI World Cup 2023 looms on the horizon. The cricket-frenzied nation is poised to host this grand event starting from October 5. Nonetheless, the weight of expectation will firmly rest on the shoulders of Captain Rohit Sharma, who faces the formidable challenge of replicating the triumphant feat achieved by MS Dhoni’s squad in 2011. The latter had etched their names in history as the first team to secure a World Cup victory on their home soil.
In the lead-up to this cricketing spectacle, the Indian skipper has garnered staunch backing from the legendary Indian all-rounder, Yuvraj Singh. Yuvraj Singh’s unwavering belief in Rohit Sharma’s ability to excel with the bat in this monumental event shines brightly. Recently, Yuvraj Singh shared insights into a motivational conversation he had with Rohit before the 2019 World Cup. Subsequently, Rohit went on to shatter records with his remarkable performances during the tournament.
Yuvraj Singh in a interaction said “I understand that Rohit Sharma is not in the best of forms right now. Last time also before the 2019 World Cup, he was not in good form in the IPL. And I told him that something special is coming, just be in the zone. And he went on to score 4-5 hundreds in the World Cup. So maybe he is not in the greatest form right now because he will go berserk at the World Cup. You never know. Everything happens for a reason. The same thing happened with me, and that’s what Sachin told me.”
