Rohitrsquos Rule for More Entertainment in Cricket
In another interview with an Indian journalist on YouTube Rohit shared a creative idea to make cricket more thrilling. When asked about one rule he would like to introduce in the game quotHe proposed giving eight runs to a batsman for a six that reaches a distance greater than ninety metres.
