Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar expects opener Rohit Sharma to repeat his 2019 ODI World Cup performance in the upcoming five-match series against England starting on August 4. Gavaskar believes there is no reason why the stylish right-hander cannot repeat the feat this time around in red-ball cricket. The legendary Indian cricketer said now Rohit has added experience of opening the batting for India even in Test cricket and it should not surprise anyone if the right-hander repeats his World Cup success. "We saw Rohit Sharma score five incredible hundreds in the World Cup in England two years back,” Gavaskar had told PTI. Now two years later he is even more experienced so don't be surprised if he repeats that performance in this series too,” he added.
