Former India batsman Aakash Chopra lauded Rohit Sharma for his impressive innings in the current first Test against the West Indies at Dominica's Windsor Park. The Indian captain hit 103 off 221 deliveries as the tourists reached 312/2 on Day 2 at Stumps. India leads by 162 runs in the first innings, with Yashasvi Jaiswal (143*) and Virat Kohli (36*) at the crease.
While analyzing the second day of play, Chopra praised Rohit for his disciplined batting. He made an intriguing comparison between the opening batter's hit and a Ferrari traveling at 30 kilometers per hour.
"Rohit Sharma is another lovely tale. He achieved his tenth century in Tests. If you want to appreciate or comprehend what Rohit is doing, imagine being asked to drive a Ferrari capable of 200 kilometers per hour at 30 kilometers per hour on an empty road.
"You shouldn't place the vehicle in cruise control and should only press the accelerator that far. After 15 to 20 minutes, you won't be able to stop yourself from continuing. "Rohit is driving his Ferrari at a speed of 30 kilometers per hour, and despite this, he is enjoying himself," Chopra said on his YouTube channel.

Since he began opening the innings in the longest format of cricket, Rohit Sharma's performance has evolved. Chopra continued by praising the 36-year-old batter, stating that he appreciates the more cautious mentality required of him at the top of the order.

"The romance of playing Test cricket is the most attractive thing. This opener version of Rohit, which we saw in England and continue to see on a regular basis, makes it abundantly apparent that this player has begun to enjoy it. That individual is not Rohit Sharma. "He is a Ferrari car who hits fours and sixes whenever he wants and against whoever he wants, but for him to play in this manner says one more thing: Wow," the 45-year-old added.
