Gautam Gambhir Refuses To Spare Rohit, Kohli, Rahul, Gill After India's Top-order Collapse Against Sri Lanka

After a heroic performance against Pakistan, the Indian top-orde witnessed an epic collapse against Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup 2023 Super 4 match. The likes of Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, and KL Rahul, all of whom scored more than 50 runs against Pakistan, were dismissed early on Tuesday. It was Sri Lanka's 20-year-old spinner Dunith Wellalage who dismissed all four of them, picking a 5-wicket-haul in the match. While the performance of the young Sri Lankan was brilliant, former India cricketer Gautam Gambhir rued the 'soft dismissals' of the likes of Kohli, Rohit, Rahul, etc.

India captain Rohit Sharma on Tuesday crossed the milestone of 10,000 runs in ODI cricket. The 36-year-old achieved the feat during an Asia Cup Super 4 match against Sri Lanka in Colombo. From playing as a middle-order batter in his early days to becoming the fastest opener to reach the landmark of 8,000 ODI runs, Rohit has come a long way since making his debut in 2007. During his initial years with the Indian team, Rohit found it difficult to crack the code, until legendary India captain MS Dhoni converted him to an opener.

The India vs Sri Lanka Asia Cup 2023 Super 4 clash went down to the wire though the scoreboard might not suggest so. The Rohit Sharma-led Indian cricket team ultimately won by 41 runs after setting a 214-run target for the Asia Cup 2023 co-hosts. Indian bowlers, however, stepped up when it mattered the most with Kuldeep Yadav taking a four-wicket haul. Sri Lanka were boosted by some gritty innings from Dhananjaya de Silva, Dunith Wellalage among others but India held their nerves to coast to victory.

Former India cricketer Gautam Gambhir refused to mince his words as he expressed his disappointment at the manner in which skipper Rohit Sharma was dismissed in the Asia Cup Super 4 clash against Pakistan on Sunday. Rohit, after starting off slow, took on the Pakistan bowlers and scored 58 runs off just 49 balls before heading back to the pavillion. Gambhir, in a chat after the Hitman's dismissal, claimed that even the India captain would be disappointed by the manner in which he gave away his wicket.

Fiery centuries from Virat Kohli and KL Rahul took India to 356/2. Then Kuldeep Yadav picked a five-wicket haul as Pakistan managed just 128.

The Indian cricket team is set to battle a huge dilemma over which player to pick for the No. 5 spot in the team. While KL Rahul has been playing the role for a while in India's ODI team, the manner which Ishan Kishan fulfilled the responsibility at the position impressed everyone. In fact, there are many who feel Ishan should continue to play at the No. 5 spot for India, even at the cost of Rahul sitting on the bench. There are however, those too, who think otherwise.

The India vs Pakistan Asia Cup 2023 clash last week gained a lot of traction. The two teams faced off for the first time since the 2022 T20 World Cup and there was enough entertainment in store. Indian batters were troubled by Pakistan pacers Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf, and Naseem Shah as they could score only 266. However, Indian bowlers did not get a chance to prove their mettle as rain washed out the entire second innings. Before the match and even after the match, the Indian cricket team and Pakistan cricket team members could be seen sharing light moments.

Fan Says Virender Sehwag Should Have Been MP Before Gautam Gambhir. Here's His Reply...

Former Indian cricket team opener Virender Sehwag believes that sportspersons should not enter politics as most of them only enter the field for "ego and hunger for power". Taking to X, formerly Twitter, he wrote, "I am not at all interested in politics. Have been approached by both major parties in the last two elections. My view is that most entertainers or sportsman should not enter politics as most are there for their own ego and hunger for power and barely spare genuine time for people; few are exceptions, but generally, most only do PR." "I love being involved with cricket and commentating, and being a part-time MP whenever convenient is not something I ever aspire for." The cricketer was responding to a man who "thought" Sehwag should have been an MP before Gautam Gambhir.
