ICC World Cup | Virat Kohli hails Rohit Sharma’s ‘best ODI innings by far’

Virat Kohli lauded Rohit Sharma's performance against South Africa. India kick-started their World Cup campaign defeating South Africa by six wickets. While addressing the media in the post-match conference, Virat said, “I think in my opinion this is by far his best ODI innings because of the kind of pressure the first game brings from a World Cup point of view. And then I know, as a batsman, when you go in and a few balls bounce like that, it's not easy to gather yourself again and play in a calm manner. A lot of times batsmen tend to hit their way out of the situation. But he was very composed, he was very -- he's played so many games, we expect a lot of maturity and a lot of responsibility from someone like him.”
