India's international umpire Anil Chaudhary opened up and said that umpiring Indian skipper Rohit Sharma is quite easy because of his big-hitting abilities. It should be noted here that Rohit is known for playing aggressively as he smashes the bowlers from the first ball itself.
Rohit changed his style of game before the 2023 ODI World Cup and gave flying starts to the team by taking advantage of the powerplay throughout the World Cup. Chaudhary lauded Rohit for his style and revealed that it's really easy to make decisions for him as to whether he is dismissed or not and that there's no in-between.
“Umpiring for a player like Rohit is very easy; he's either out or not out, it's straightforward with him. He doesn't play confusingly]," Chaudhary was quoted as saying on Shubhankar Mishra's YouTube channel 'Unplugged'.
Roht, is known for getting involved in on-field banters with the umpires and one of the best examples was when he was involved in a light-hearted banter with umpire Virender Sharma in a T20I series against Afghanistan this year. It should be noted here that Virender had committed an error by giving a leg-bye when Rohit was batting and that led to Rohit hilariously telling him that the ball had hit his bat as he was on the verge of scoring his third consecutive duck.

Chaudhary also heaped praises on the Indian skipper for his batting abilities as he had often left the pacers looking for answers with his brilliant performances.
When Rohit's batting it seems someone is bowling at 120kmph: Anil Chaudhary
“You can't guess his sharp mind from his batting. When he's batting, it seems someone is bowling at 120 mph, but when someone else is batting, the speed seems like 160 mph. He gets involved in a lot of appeals and then says 'Let it be.' He may seem casual, but he's not casual at all,” he concluded.
Rohit is all set to be seen in action at the upcoming two-match Test series against Bangladesh, which will be held later this month. He was also recently spotted gearing up for this series under the guidance of Team India's assistant coach Abhishek Nayar. He has been in sublime form in all three formats recently and will aim to continue his heroics against Bangladesh.
