“I have watched him grow into a quality cricketer and also a good leader”: Mark Boucher lauds Rohit Sharma on completing 10 years as MI captain

Xtra Time Web Desk: It will be a special occasion for Rohit Sharma when he leads Mumbai Indians for the IPL 2023 game against Rajasthan Royals at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday. The Hitman will be celebrating his birthday and also a decade at the helm of Mumbai Indians. Ahead of the clash between two former champions of the tournament, Mumbai Indians head coach Mark Boucher spoke about how he was always a fan of Rohit Sharma.

“He has been great. I used to always enjoy watching Rohit bat, sometimes from behind the stumps as well. I have played a bit of cricket with him and watched him grow into a quality cricketer but also a good leader. It’s going to be nice for him. It’s his birthday as well, so a big moment for him,” Boucher said.

Boucher said that the team was happy with their captain’s form. With a powerful and deep batting line up, Rohit’s role has been to go hard in the Powerplay, something that he has done well so far.

“I think Rohit is in good form. He has been hitting the ball really well in the nets. Just the other day, he got some good runs for us. He’s playing a nice and aggressive brand of cricket. He’s fulfilled the role that we have needed him to fulfil in this season so far. If Rohit plays aggressively like he has, he can be devastating for any opposition,” Boucher said.
