R Ashwin predicted, said- he would score a double century in the world; Told an old story with Kohli

Ashwin has made a big revelation about Kohli. Ashwin said that Kohli believes that the most dangerous batsman in the last over is not MS Dhoni. Kohli feels that current Indian captain Rohit Sharma is the best match finisher. At the same time, Ashwin feels that Rohit will score a double-century in the World Cup.

Ravichandran Ashwin said that he is confident that Rohit Sharma will score a double-century in the upcoming 2023 World Cup. Ashwin praised Rohit's ability to hit shots in any format. Also revealed the conversation with Virat Kohli about Rohit Sharma.

Ashwin told on his YouTube channel that Kohli believes that after getting set, it becomes difficult to stop Rohit after 15 to 20 overs. He has a lot of shots. It becomes difficult for death bowlers to bowl to him in that range.

Ashwin said, "5-6 years ago when Rohit was batting, Virat Kohli and I had a discussion. I don't remember which match it was. Seeing Rohit batting, I was wondering where you would bowl to him as well. Do? If Rohit gets set after 15-20 overs, you won't know where to bowl to him."

Ashwin further said, "Virat asked me, 'Do you know which batsman is a nightmare for the bowler in slog overs?' I asked, 'Is it Dhoni?' Kohli said, 'No, it's Rohit. When I asked him the reason, he said you won't know where to bowl.'

Let us tell you that Rohit Sharma is in great form in the current Asia Cup 2023. The right-handed opening batsman has scored three consecutive half-centuries against Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. At present, he is the batsman who has scored the most runs in the tournament.

During his innings against Sri Lanka, he became only the sixth Indian cricketer to complete 10,000 ODI runs after Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly, Rahul Dravid, Virat Kohli, and MS Dhoni. Let us tell you, Rohit has already scored three double centuries in ODIs, in which the best score is 264 runs against Sri Lanka.
