Rohit Sharma finds it a tad "over-rated" and he does not want the juniors in the team to feel insecure. With T20 World Cup in Australia scheduled layer this year, Rohit knows that some of the slots, like pace and spin bowling all-rounders still need to be filled and he wants youngsters to get adequate chances.
Ishan Kishan or a Shreyas Iyer may have been paid hefty sums to perform a particular role for their IPL sides but that won't be up for consideration when skipper Rohit Sharma decides what's best for India's T20 team going into this year's World Cup in Australia. Back in 2011, the current India captain was one of the hottest mega auction picks for Mumbai Indians and he understands that the likes of Kishan (Rs 15.25 crore) or Shreyas Iyer (Rs 12.25 crore) must have gone through a plethora of emotions during the bidding frenzy involving them.
Cricketer Dinesh Karthik lauded Team India captain Rohit Sharma for some of his decisions that proved key in India's 44-run series-clinching win over West Indies in Ahmedabad on Wednesday. After posting 237/9, India bowled out West Indies for 193, to seal victory and take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match ODI series. While Prasidh Krishna was the pick of the Indian bowlers with impressive figures of 4/12, Deepak Hooda and Washington Sundar also played key roles by bagging a wicket each at crucial junctures during the game. Hooda removed the well-set Shamarh Brooks while Sundar bagged the wicket of Odean Smith to end Windies' resistance.
Former India paceman Ajit Agarkar voiced his concern over former Team India captain Virat Kohli's batting form as the team prepares for a three-match ODI and T20I series at home under the leadership of Rohit Sharma. Speaking exclusively on Star Sports show "Game Plan", Agarkar gave an honest assessment of Kohli's batting woes and termed his batting form as a "concern" not only for the captain, but also for the combination of the team. "Virat Kohli's form is a concern, but we all know what a player he is. So, hopefully, he discovers his form sooner rather than later," he said.
Tokyo 2020 gold medal winner Neeraj Chopra shared some candid pictures on social media featuring Team India wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant.
