Muttiah Mualitharan Wants Rohit To Play Another World Cup, And Said "he'll play another World cup"

Renowned Sri Lankan off-spinner, Muttiah Muralitharan, has expressed robust support for Rohit Sharma's inclusion in the approaching 2024 T20 World Cup, slated to spread in the dynamic cricketing places of the West Indies and the United States. Despite speculation surrounding Rohit's destiny in T20 Internationals following India's unfulfilled quest for the 2023 World Cup, the 51-year-vintage cricketing legend emphasizes the importance of Rohit Sharma's participation in the approaching match.

Muralitharan dismisses concerns over Rohit's strike price, asserting that it is not a trouble to his potential success at the T20 World Cup level. However, he underscores the significance of preserving peak fitness levels, emphasizing that this could be a pivotal factor for Rohit's impactful overall performance inside the opposition.

After India's bid for the 2023 World Cup fell quickly, speculations arose regarding Rohit Sharma contemplating retirement from T20Is. Despite a much less-than-best document in preceding T20 World Cups, wherein he gathered 963 runs in 36 innings at a strike price of 127.89, Muttiah Muralitharan stays steadfast in his belief that Rohit Sharma possesses the prowess to make a widespread impact in the approaching match, provided he addresses fitness concerns and stays dedicated to the undertaking.

In the press conference for his upcoming biopic "800", Muralitharan said that the Indian captain still plays the T20 2024 World Cup as he is still young and he said "You look at his ODI World Cup performance. The starts he gave, the kind of strike rates he batted at. He never failed in the tournament. And he's only 36, that's young. He can play another World Cup if he pushes his fitness like Virat. Rohit batted with a strike rate of 130 in ODIs, which is not bad for T20. He's an experienced player. You just have to work harder on your fitness after 35. If the desire is there, he'll play. I think he'll play another World Cup. It's on his mind."

Rohit Sharma, the right-handed batter got 597 runs in 11 innings and finished the 2023 World Cup as the second-highest run. Rohit Sharma was the main reason behind India's explosive start this year.
