T20 World Cup: Rohit Sharma gears up for Shaheen Afridi duel with extended net session

Those who know Rohit Sharma well would vouch for the fact that the Indian captain doesn't get amused when he hears the term "lazy elegance" liberally thrown at him during formal and informal conversations. Rohit Sharma is supremely elegant but the word "lazy" hasn't existed in his dictionary for the longest possible time now. Rohit went through the grind for close to one and half hours along with Dinesh Karthik for company. Watching Rohit bat, one would instantly remember the popular YouTube interview show 'Breakfast With Champions' where the host asks Kohli, "Doesn't Rohit give you feeling that he has that extra second to play those shots?" But one thing can be said with a degree of certainty that Rohit Sharma is not leaving any stone unturned to turn the heat on Shaheen Shah Afridi.

Napoli’s dreams of a first Serie A title since the days of Diego Maradona are more alive than ever after thrashing Juventus 5-1 on Friday and moving 10 points clear at the summit. “I’m happy for the team and I’m happy as well to contribute to it with two goals and an assist. “When you make errors like we did against a team like Napoli, you are going to be punished.
