"He wasn't as attacking as he was during the World Cup"- Sanjay Manjrekar on Rohit Sharma after his century in 2nd ODI vs England 2025

Former cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar recently analyzed Rohit Sharma's match-winning knock in the second ODI against England. He opined that he did not play as attacking as he did during the 2023 ODI World Cup. Manjrekar said on ESPNCricinfo:

"People who are big brands in India, they feel that pressure of expectation. It's not just about getting your 40s and 50s that he was doing during the World Cup. Somewhere, there's an expectation of a hundred. It's like a certificate of you being in form. You saw the way he did it. He wasn't as attacking as he was during the World Cup."

He continued:

"Still, when he decides to pace his innings, it's just incredible how easily he does it. [He was] very selective in the way he played his shots. I have a feeling in the next match he will play again in the way that he thought was best for the team. This one was more for himself. Obviously, one that wanted the team to win. But this is one that he'll say, this one is for me."
