Australian opener Travis Head named Rohit Sharma as the ‘hottest Indian player’ ahead of the Border Gavaskar Trophy series. Head hailed Rohit for his cricketing acumen and his range of shots and related it to physical attraction as well. While, he jokily said that Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah would have some work to do on his physical attraction. While the conversation on The Grade Cricketer podcast started over Bumrah’s bowling and how Head hoped that he would not get to face him in a light-hearted fashion to conversation over the hottest Indian cricketer.
“I like Rohit’s work. I am happy with the dad’s setup. I think he’s got the most style out of all of them. He stands at the top, takes it on, double step and blokes in the power play,” Head said on the podcast. “Hang on, are we talking about physical attractiveness or cricketing skills?” the hosts enquired. “Both,” Head replied.
“So, because of the way he plays, you also find that attractive physically. Rohit plays a shot, and you’re thinking, gee, that’s a good-looking man,” the hosts enquired.
“Yeah, just like the way he goes about it around the sheds, and I’m happy with his set-up. Jasprit has some work to do,” Head replied.
Head’s admiration for Rohit
When Travis Head took Rohit Sharma’s catch
Travis Head took a stunning catch of Indian captain Rohit Sharma to give Australia the big breakthrough in the ODI World Cup final. Rohit Sharma was forced to depart in Ahmedabad after another rapid 47 on November 19. The Indian captain would hit Glenn Maxwell for a six and a boundary and was approaching another fifty in the World Cup. However, his stay would be cut short by a blinder from Head. The Indian captain’s attempt to maximize the powerplay would turn out to be the reason behind his downfall as he skied one in the air.
Looking at the current scenario, Rohit’s availability for the 1st Test between India and Australia remains uncertain. The Indian captain has not travelled to Perth since he is expecting the birth of his second child with wife Ritika Sajdeh.
