MI’s Rohit Sharma vs LSG’s Abdul Samad

It’s not something new. Mumbai Indians star batter Rohit Sharma is acclaimed for his camaraderie with young talents – both in the Indian cricket team as well as the IPL set up.

Rohit often assumes as the mentor figure and guiding youngsters with respect to their batting. In a video posted by Lucknow Super Giants on social media, the veteran cricketer was seen having a conversation with
23-year-old batter Abdul Samad. Rohit explained that batting ultimately comes down to one’s technique and said that irrespective of one’s talent and ability, every batter needs to find the technique that works best for them.

Adding “Hit it either off this leg, or off that leg. Every wicket has a pace. It’s different everyday, today the humidity is more so there will be moisture, if it’s less humid and more windy then the pitch is better to bat on. You won’t get that knowledge until the match starts
Rohit also went on to explain that what works for him may not work for a batter like Samad and that is why, it is extremely important to not copy someone and develop one’s own style of batting.
Continuing that whatever ability you have, whatever talent, whatever technique, some things don’t work without technique, let’s accept that.

He told Abdul he can’t play like him, he (Rohit can’t play like him (Abdul),adding you have your own talent. If he (Rohit goes to copy him (Abdul) or you (Abdul tries to copy hum (Rohit) or his technique or his technique, life will pass by in that time.

Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians look to continue their winning momentum as they take on Lucknow Super Giants in an IPL 2025 encounter on Sunday that may have huge implications on the playoffs race.
