Rohit Sharma's top pick in batters isn't Kohli, KL, Rahul or even Surya! Team India skipper reveals a surprising name

Rohit Sharma recently made an appearance at the Dubai Eye 103.8 show, where he divulged a multitude of topics and offered insight into his playing days and current top picks in modern-day cricket. Rohit also revealed who is his current favourite batter, and it is not Kohli, KL Rahul, Joe Root, or the number one man in T20I batting, Suryakumar Yadav. The Indian skipper revealed that he has been particularly impressed with England's Zak Crawley. He also mentioned Steve Smith but was more rooted for Crawley's display.

"I watched Zack Crawley this season very closely & enjoyed watching him bat. I enjoyed Steve Smith's batting too, although he is different from the rest of us. I mean he's got his own way of dealing with things in the middle, but he's quite successful. But Zak Crawley, I think is quite impressive," Rohit Sharma revealed during his appearance.
