'Just like Sachin': Rohit Sharma's upper cut reminds everyone of Tendulkar during India vs Pakistan World Cup 2019 match
This is how Twitter reacted to Rohit's uppercut.
Rohit Sharma handed Team India the perfect start in the World Cup 2019 high-profile matchup against rivals Pakistan in Manchester on Sunday. The Indian opening duo of Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul broke Sachin Tendulkar and Navjot Singh Sidhu's 23-year-old record for the longest opening run partnership at a World Cup match against Pakistan at Old Trafford.
Rohit took on the Pak bowlers from the get-go more aggressively, while KL Rahul, on the other hand, played with a more calm approach. The opening pair added 136 runs for the opening wicket, while Rohit Sharma played a sensational inning of 140 runs off 113 delivers. Fans during the match witnessed Sharma playing an upper cut for six to a quick short delivery and it made them recall about a very special upper cut played by Sachin Tendulkar vs Pakistan in the 2003 World Cup.
People then took to Twitter to express their thoughts about the match:
