New Zealand fast bowler Mitchell McClenaghan believes India opening batsman Rohit Sharma would have made the difference in the overall result had he played the two-match Test series in New Zealand earlier this month.
McClenaghan, 33, opined the same during a recent Q&A session which he conducted on his Twitter account. It is worth mentioning that McClenaghan warned his fans regarding not asking his favourite Indian player as it’s already his Indian Premier League franchise Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma.
Alright will give #askmitch a crack. No shit questions like who’s your favourite Indian player – you know it’s @ImRo45

There is no hiding to the fact that McClenaghan has been a huge admirer of Sharma for a long time now. Being asked to pick one between New Zealand captain Kane Williamson and Sharma, the left-arm pacer answered the question sarcastically.
