Rohit has no plans of giving up on T20Is, just yet
There is debate over whether Hardik Pandya will replace Rohit Sharma as captain of India’s T20I, but Rohit has said he has no plans to leave T20I.
After the 2022 T20 World Cup, Rohit and Virat Kohli will be ruled out of the next two T20I series, against New Zealand and at home against Sri Lanka. Rohit said he is looking after more work and could miss the T20I series at home to New Zealand.
“It was decided in the past that this is a World Cup year for over 50. Some players cannot play in all formats,” said Rohit ahead of the first ODI against Sri Lanka. He said: “If you look at the table, the competition is back. Therefore, due to the work of some players, we want them to rest and I am in that category.
“We only have six T20Is, three [against Sri Lanka and three against New Zealand. So we’ll deal with that until we get the IPL and see what happens after that.” But of course I am.” They didn’t. “They’ve decided to take off their uniform.”
Rohit also said that Shubman Gill is ahead of Ishan Kishan in the order. In India’s ODI final, Kishan became the fastest scorer in two centuries in the format, but scored just 267 runs in the remaining eight innings of his career, at an average of 33.37.
Meanwhile, Gill has been India’s run leader since his return last year with 638 runs at an average of 70.88 and a strike rate of 102.57.
Rohit said: “Both starters were very good but if you look at how they came together, Gill scored a lot in the last game and it’s only fair that we gave him a chance to play well,” said Rohit. . He said: “He was there too and I didn’t take anything. That’s great for us. He got two hundred, I know what it takes to get two hundred, that’s quite an achievement.
“But to be honest and fair with people who have done well in the past, we have to give them enough chances before we make the decision.”
“It’s unfortunate that we can’t play Ishan, but seeing how things have changed for us over the last 8-9 months, how ODIs have fared for us, it’s only fair that we gave Gill a chance.” “We’ll see how it goes when we play well.
For this reason, Suryakumar Yadav had to wait a long time in ODIs despite his form in T20s. Meanwhile, KL Rahul will keep the field in Kishan’s absence on Thursday.
