Junaid Khan believed Indian captain, Rohit Sharma, was the best batter India has produced. Khan claimed he was better than Sachin Tendulkar as well, who is widely considered the greatest batter of all time. He further added that scoring 3 double centuries in ODIs is no easy feat and praised his six hitting ability. 

Rohit Sharma is a better batsman than Virat Kohli and Sachin Tendulkar. He is also the greatest Indian batter. He has all the shots in his batting arsenal. Scoring three double hundreds in ODIs is no small landmark. He has hit the most sixes for India. For me, Rohit is ahead of all other Indian batters. 
Junaid Khan said during the podcast.

In the recent World Cup, VIrat Kohli became the first batter to cross 700 runs in a World Cup, scoring 765 runs. Sharma also scored 597 runs, finishing as the 2nd highest run scorer.
