Mumbai, June 15 (ANI): Sachin Tendulkar, former Indian batsman rated how he expects Rohit Sharma as one of the best batsmen to have played the game, there is no denying the fact that he has a special place in his heart for English conditions as he hit his first Test century in Manchester in 1990. Asked how he would want an aggressive batsman like Rohit to play the Dukes ball, he said: "Rohit is smart that way and understands when to press the accelerator. He is not someone who is going to go from ball one. He is going to kind of understand the conditions, how the pitch is playing and who is bowling well and then I won't be surprised if he targets someone who is not getting his rhythm on that day."But, up front to do that, I don't think that would be Rohit's game plan. It would be just to play out the first few overs and see what is happening. Once you have assessed that, then you know who to target."
