Former Pakistan Cricket Board chief Ramiz Raja is continuously on the receiving end of harsh criticism for his controversial statements on social media. After being sacked as the chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board, Raja is back with his cricketing analyses on his YouTube channel. Apart from that, he has also been in the headlines for his heated arguments with journalists during the shows on national television.
But now, the 60-year-old has fallen prey to Indian Cricket Fans once again for his recent statement in which he lauded Shubman Gill and compared him with the current Indian skipper and veteran batter Rohit Sharma.
Here’s what Ramiz Raja said while comparing Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma
“Shubman Gill looks like a mini-Rohit Sharma. He has extra time and looks good. He has enough potential. Aggression will also develop with time. He doesn’t need to change anything. He scored a double hundred recently,” said Ramiz Raja in a video on his YouTube channel
Later on, the 1992 World Cup winner batter also appreciated the Indian skipper Rohit Sharma who played a knock of 51 runs off 50 balls in the second of the three-match ODI series against New Zealand.
“Batting was easy for India because they have an outstanding batter like Rohit Sharma. He plays exceedingly well. He is an amazing striker of hook-and-pull shots, so a 108-run chase becomes easy,” he added later.
“What India batters need to do, top order is the fact that their front-foot batting is looking weak. It’s easy to hit from the back foot, but once the ball is tossed up, you rely on defense, then there is some error,” he concluded.
Although the Indian cricket fans couldn’t take these statements from Ramiz Raja very easily and healthily. They immediately took to Twitter to lash out at the former PCB chief for changing his tone after being sacked from the premier position in Pakistan Cricket.
