Virat Kohli was all praise for Rohit Sharma who scored a brilliant century against Bangladesh and termed him as the \u201cbest one-day player\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Tuesday, Sharma scored his fourth century of the ongoing World Cup, thus helping India post 314\/9 which they successfully defended at Edgbaston.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI have been watching it for years now, I have been saying it publicly, in my opinion Rohit is the best one-day player. When he plays, we are heading towards a big score and really happy with the way he\u2019s playing,\u201d said Kohli at the post-match presentation ceremony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhen he plays well we know we are heading for a big score. He gives everyone confidence to go out and bat,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Indian vice-captain became only the second batsman after Kumar Sangakkara to hit four hundreds in a single World Cup and in the process became the leading run-scorer in this edition of the tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rohit unfurled a flurry of strokes and played with a lot of freedom while sharing a 180-run opening partnership with K.L. Rahul. During his 32-ball inning, Rohit hit five huge sixes and seven boundaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He also praised the Bangla Tigers for putting up a great fight and said: \u201cBangladesh played some really good cricket and deserve credit for the fight they put up. We had to work hard for the win and we are happy to see a \u2018Q\u2019 (qualified) in front of our name now.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
