Former Indian opener Virender Sehwag picks captain Rohit Sharma as the leading run-getter in the World Cup 2023. He also said that Indian pitches provide a very good surface to the opener and he has terrific records as an opener.
In a video posted by ICC's Instagram handle, Sehwag was asked to predict the leading run-getter in World Cup 2023, and he chose India's Rohit Sharma.
"India has got good wickets, so I think openers will get good opportunities. If I want to pick one, I think Rohit Sharma. There are a couple of names, but I am Indian and I should pick an Indian, so Rohit Sharma," said Virender Sehwag.
