He reminded me of Inzamam in his early days: Yuvraj recalls Rohit's first impression

Former India cricketer Yuvraj Singh has said that Rohit Sharma reminded him of Pakistan batting legend Inzamam-ul-Haq in his early days. flamboyant India vice-captain made his ODI debut in June 2007 while his maiden T20 game came during World Cup later that year against England, where unfortunately Rohit didn't get a chance to bat.  Asked about his first impression of Rohit, Yuvraj said swashbuckling batsman seemed like somebody who had a lot of time to play his strokes.

'He reminded me of Inzamam'

"I think when he came into Indian team, he looked like somebody who had a lot of time," Yuvraj Singh said during a YouTube chat show.

"He reminded me of Inzamam-ul-Haq, because, when he batted, Inzi had a lot of time (to play bowlers),"

Inzamam, a veteran of 120 Tests and over 300 One-day Internationals, is kwn to remain calm under pressure situations. He captained Pakistan from 2003-07.
