New Delhi, Oct 7: Pakistan pace legend Shoaib Akhtar says that India's new Test opener Rohit Sharma has a better technique than Virender Sehwag. Rohit has drawn comparisons to Sehwag since his promotion to the top of the order in Test cricket and that has only increased after he scored twin centuries in the first Test against South Africa and also broke the record for the most number of sixes hit by a player in a match.

"Rohit Sharma has a much better technique than Virender Sehwag," said Shoaib in a video uploaded on his Youtube channel. "Sehwag just had a will and aggressive mindset to hit shots all across the park. He (Rohit Sharma) has got great timing, a variety of shots and elegance."
