"He has prepared a beautiful legacy" - Aakash Chopra on Rohit Sharma after 2025 Champions Trophy victory

Former cricketer Aakash Chopra heaped praise on Rohit Sharma and opined that he created a beautiful legacy for himself by clinching two ICC trophies as India's captain.

Speaking on the matter in a video on his YouTube channel 'Aakash Chopra,' he said:

"With Rohit Sharma's game, you should always assume that until he is there, it doesn't seem like there is any help on the pitch and the opposition is putting pressure on you because he keeps hitting. His presence is enough to steer the game in India's favor.

"His first scoring shot was a six. After that, he hit the fast bowlers out of the attack. He batted like that, hit huge sixes. It's not only the batting. As Rohit is the captain, he has prepared a beautiful legacy."

Chopra continued:

"Since the 2022 Adelaide loss, he has dropped only one game as a captain. He is the captain who doesn't only talk about playing with a different template but shows it by doing it.

"There isn't much difference between what he says and what he does. He consistently keeps hitting and tells everyone that they will play like this only as this is now their philosophy."
