Former Australian skipper Michael Clarke has backed India captain Rohit Sharma to be the leading run-scorer in the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy, which kicks off on February 19 in Karachi. India have been placed in Group A alongside Pakistan, New Zealand, and Bangladesh. The Men in Blue begin their campaign on February 20 against Bangladesh in Dubai.
Rohit Sharma returned to top form during the recent three-match ODI series against England, notching up a century in the second ODI. The 37-year-old Indian captain faced significant scrutiny following a poor Test series against Australia but silenced critics with a commanding hundred.
