Gautam Gambhir speaks about a cricketer who gave him "sleepless nights" in IPL
Xtra Time Web Desk: Former cricketer Gautam Gambhir, picked Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma as the one cricketer who gave him "sleepless nights" during their encounters in the IPL.
Gambhir heaped praise on Rohit Sharma's tremendous performance as Team India captain in the history of the cash-rich T20 tournament.
Speaking on Star Sports, Gambhir said: “As captain, Rohit Sharma is the only player who gave me sleepless nights. Neither Chris Gayle nor AB de Villiers nor anyone else, only Rohit Sharma. He is the player who gave me sleepless nights. There is no more successful cricketer in the history of Indian Premier League (IPL) than Rohit Sharma as captain.”
Rohit Sharma replaced Ricky Ponting as MI captain midway in the IPL 2013 and took the team to their maiden IPL victory that year. Since then, MI has won the Indian Premier League in 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2020, becoming only the second team to successfully defend their IPL title and the most successful franchise with five IPL titles.
