Legendary Indian spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has heaped massive praise on captain Rohit Sharma for his fearless batting approach in the recently held Sri Lanka ODIs. 

Recently, India had a forgettable journey in the ODI series against Sri Lanka, as they were comprehensively beaten by the home side by two-nil. In the third ODI, Sri Lanka crushed the visitors by 132 runs, bagging the series with two thumping victories. 

However, Rohit shone brightly with the bat, amassing 157 runs at an average of 52.33 and a blistering strike rate of 141.44. 


R Ashwin hails Rohit's batsmanship

Meanwhile, veteran Indian off-spinner Ravi Ashwin has lauded Rohit for his incredible performance in the series. 

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Ashwin highlighted Rohit's aggressive intent and commendable execution, terming it as one of the few positives for India in the series. 

"One thing that stood up for me in the Sri Lanka series was Rohit Sharma's batting once again. No matter what is happening, no fear, Rohit means I am going to hit. As a batter, Rohit is par excellence at this point of time," Ashwin stated. 

As far as Rohit is concerned, the elegant batter will lead India in the upcoming two-match Test series against Bangladesh next month.
