As India prepares for a pivotal ODI series in Australia, former skipper Aaron Finch has voiced his admiration for star batsmen Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. This tour might be the last time Australian fans get to see these iconic players in action Down Under, and Finch is keen to emphasize their unique influence.
Finch described the unique thrill of witnessing top-tier cricketers up close. “It’s an unbelievable feeling to have the chance to see the game’s greats perform live,” he shared. “Watching on TV is one thing, but being at the stadium allows you to fully grasp their presence – how it affects their teammates and electrifies the fans.”
Reflecting on his numerous encounters with both Kohli and Sharma, Finch commended their impressive skill sets, resilience, and the undeniable charisma they bring to the field. He believes that if this Australian series is indeed their final one, the fan turnout will be immense, eager to soak in the final moments of their brilliance.
Addressing the new leadership structure, with Shubman Gill captaining the ODI side, Finch highlighted Rohit Sharma’s ongoing significance. “Rohit will undoubtedly be a key figure in the leadership group, guiding Shubman through his crucial first year,” Finch stated. “His contribution will be invaluable, and it’s exciting to see this progression.”
