Rohit Sharma, the prolific Indian opener was involved in a live Instagram session with his mate Mohammed Shami on Saturday. During the interaction, he exchanged several thoughts on different topics with the Indian pacer. Meanwhile, he also revealed the names of the bowlers that he found quite difficult to play during the early phase of his cricketing career.

The 33-year-old made his international debut back in 2007 and played some of the finest bowlers in the history of cricket with the likes of Dale Steyn, Brett Lee and Nathan Bracken. Moreover, he used to bat in the middle-order for the Men in Blue before becoming a regular opener for the national side.

The Indian Hitman went through quite a big rough patch before turning into a hard-hitting opener. Earlier, he was an easy fish for the bowlers but now he has become the biggest nightmare for them.
