Mumbai, Jun 30 (UNI) Former India captain Krishnamachari Srikkanth has heaped rich praise on Rohit Sharma, saying the stylish batsman is one of the greatest ever ODI openers, considering his ability to convert centuries into daddy hundreds.
As an opener, Rohit has scored 7148 runs from 140 ODIs at an average of 58.11 with 27 centuries and out of his 29 ODI centuries, 11 times he has scored in excess of 140, including three double hundreds.
Srikkanth, who himself was an opener and played 43 Tests and 146 ODIs between 1981 and 1992, feels Rohit will be in the top-3 or top-5 in the list of all time greatest openers, who have graced the game.
