Indian wrestler Sangram Singh picked Rohit Sharma over Virat Kohli as his favourite batsman. Sangram felt that Rohit’s “selfless” style made him a great batsman. However, the wrestler also picked Virat Kohli over Rohit Sharma in terms of fitness.
During a recent podcast, Sangram also praised fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah for the tremendous progress he has made over the years. All three players – Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah – will be in action for India’s upcoming Test series against Bangladesh.

Sangram Singh rates ‘selfless’ Rohit Sharma above Virat Kohli in batting
During a recent podcast on Sports Yaari, Sangram Singh rated Rohit Sharma better than Virat Kohli as a player. He praised Rohit’s selfless attitude while batting and his humble nature. However, Sangram was also quick to admit that Virat Kohli is more fit than Rohit Sharma. According to him, Rohit can crush any bowling attack when he is fit.
“I like Virat Kohli because he is in very good form and I like Rohit Sharma because he is a very good person and he is a great player. I have rarely seen a player like Rohit Sharma. I have watched a few matches during the World Cup because I follow World Cup matches, irrespective of the game,” Sangram said in the podcast.
“I also followed the T20 World Cup (2024) and the ODI World Cup (2023). I don’t follow other things. When Rohit Sharma plays, it seems like the other team is too small for him. That’s why I like him a lot. Rohit is a bigger player (as a batsman), but Virat is fitter,” he added.

Sangram Singh also claimed that Rohit is a selfless player and never plays for individual records. He also added that Virat is a different player.
“Rohit is a bigger player because he is a selfless player. He can tear apart any bowling attack when he is in form. Meanwhile, we cannot match Virat’s career graph. He is different. But Rohit never plays for his individual records. That’s why he is one of the best. He also looks simple and humble and I like such kind of people,” he concluded.
Sangram Singh praises Jasprit Bumrah for his progress
Sangram Singh is an Indian wrestler, actor, and motivational speaker. He also praised Jasprit Bumrah for becoming the best bowler in the world. He chose Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma as the best batsmen and Jasprit Bumrah as the best bowler in the world.
“I really like (Jasprit) Bumrah because he comes from a small town and he worked really hard to become the best bowler in the world. We can’t judge anyone. I always see the positive style of everyone and I support their struggle,” Sangram said.

“In the current generation of players, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are one of the best batsmen and Bumrah is the best bowler,” he added.
Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah were part of the Indian team that won the trophy in June. All three played key roles in India’s historic triumph.
While Rohit and Virat have played just three ODIs against Sri Lanka since then, Bumrah has not played any competitive match. All three will be involved in India’s upcoming two-match Test series against Bangladesh starting on September 19.
