‘Rohit is one of the best’: T Dilip
Fielding coach T Dilip lauded Indian captain Rohit Sharma and said that he’s one of the pullers in the game. Dilip also said that Rohit is very funny on the field and he tries to create a good environment.
“I can’t discuss his batting because everyone knows he’s one of the best pullers of the ball. I’ve seen very few individuals as good as him in my career. Actually, he’s a very funny person. You saw that in the recent match when Washington Sundar slipped while bowling, and he ran into him. He tries to create a good environment on the field. He’s a great human being. No need to mention his leadership, you have seen in the recent World Cup and before that IPL trophies. He’s one of the best” T Dilip said on Raw Talks with Vamshi podcast.
