Lending his support to Rohit Sharma, off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin on Thursday said the India captain `doesn`t need to be taught to score hundreds` after his failure to convert a blazing start into a big score in the ICC World Cup 2023 final against Australia sparked criticism.
Scoring at an incredible strike rate of 125, Sharma amassed 597 runs in 11 matches. However, despite being in full flow throughout the tournament, he received criticism from some quarters after an adventurous attempt to hit Glenn Maxwell out of the ground in the final led to his dismissal for a 31-ball 47 from where his team could not consolidate.
