The smart tactics and decisions of Skipper Rohit played a main part in the winning run of Team India. He worked very smartly with his fast bowlers and spinners as well. The field placement was top-notch for him. The kind of field he placed in the final match was just stunning. Most of the Sri Lankan batters got the ball straight into the hands of fielders while driving the ball, so we have to give credit to Rohit.

In the ending clash of the Asia Cup 2023, the Indian fast bowling unit just went through Sri Lanka’s batting unit and bowled out the opposition at 50 runs, which is the lowest in the history of the Asia Cup in the ODI formant of the game. Rohit Sharma sacrificed his opening position to Ishan Kishan to chase down the small total, and that worked as the men in blue emerged victorious.
