Umpire Anil Chaudhary has stated that one could possibly think the Indian skipper Rohit Sharma is a casual and chill person, his cricketing IQ is very sharp and can mess with any opponent if he uses them correctly. On a YouTube podcast ‘Unplugged’, Chaudhary gave a warning to Shubhankar Mishra against forming a wrong image of Rohit Sharma.
Chaudhary stated that Rohit might appear to be a ‘casual’ person, but he is a ‘smart cricketer’ with high ‘cricketing IQ’ who makes bating look easy.
Rohit has often been called casual, especially because of his attitude and behaviour on the field. His antics and words that are recorded on the stump mic justify his behaviour even more.

“Rohit aapko lagta casual hai par bahot smart player hai. Iss chakkar mein na padna aap. He is very smart. Cricketing IQ bahut achha hai uska, means game ki samajh (Rohit looks casual to you, but he’s a very smart player. Don’t get fooled in this. He is very smart. His cricketing IQ is very good, means his game sense),” Chaudhary said.
“Uski Batting se idea nahi aata aapko. Jab wo batting karta hai to lagta hai 120 (kmph) pe bowling ho rahi hai. Jab dusra batting karta hai to lagta hai 160 pe bowling ho rahi hai….Wo bahut saari appealon mein aa jata hai aur kehta hai ‘abey rehne de’ (You do not get the idea by his batting. When he comes to bat it looks like it’s bowling at 120kmph. When some other does batting it looks like it’s bowling at 160kmph…He comes in a lot of appeals and says ‘hey leave it’),” Chaudhary added.
