Indian captain Rohit Sharma could not play in the Edgbaston Test due to Corona virus infection but is now returning from the T20 series against England.
The three-match T20 series between India and England is starting from Thursday, July 7. After this series, an ODI series will also be played between the two teams. Both these series are important for the Indian team. It is also important because with this series, captain Rohit Sharma will return to the field again. Rohit Sharma got infected with the corona virus, due to which he could not play in the Edgbaston Test against England. In such a situation, everyone wants to see Rohit back on the field. But in the meantime, a news has come to the fore, which has raised questions about veteran players like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. The issue is the players’ comfort.
Rest given for West Indies tour
On Wednesday 6 July, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced Team India for the West Indies tour. After settling the T20 and ODI series in England, the Indian team will leave for the West Indies from there, where they have to play 3 ODIs. The team that has been selected for this series, the question is arising from there. In fact, for this tour, the team will once again go without their regular captain Rohit Sharma. Apart from Rohit, players like Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant, Jasprit Bumrah have been rested and the whole ruckus has started from here.
Played only half the matches in 8 months
Actually, the most questions are being raised about Rohit Sharma because after becoming the T20-ODI captain in November 2021 and then after becoming the captain of the Test team in February, Rohit Sharma has already been out of many matches due to injury, corona or rest. have been. figures show,
Since becoming the captain after the T20 World Cup in November 2021, Rohit Sharma has played only 14 matches, including 9 T20s, 3 ODIs and 2 Test matches. At the same time, Team India played a total of 30 matches, in which Rohit Sharma remained out of 16 matches. In this, excluding the recent 2 T20 matches against Ireland, Rohit was out of 14 matches in total.
When and where did Rohit appear after becoming the captain?
Rohit was rested from the home Test series against New Zealand in November, while he was ruled out of the entire South Africa tour due to injury. He then made a comeback from the ODI series against West Indies. After this, Rohit played 6 consecutive T20s, 3 ODIs and 2 Test matches. He was then rested from the 5-match home T20 series against South Africa in June after playing a full 14 matches for Mumbai Indians in the IPL. He was not selected for 2 T20 matches due to the tour of Ireland and England together and then he could not play the Test due to Corona.
Rohit gets tired of playing only 6 matches?
In such a situation, when he has returned fit after continuous rest, then the question is being raised about being rested again after only 6 matches. This question is also there because not only is he missing as a player, but as a captain also he is not coming down regularly and in such a situation there is a lack of consistency. Team India and especially Rohit’s fans are also very unhappy with the comfort of this time and they openly expressed their disappointment. Fans are asking whether Rohit gets tired after playing only 6 matches?
Why on earth does Rohit Sharma need rest? 3 ODIs & 3 T20s vs England is all that his body can sustain? I’m a huge Rohit fan but he’s missing far too much of international cricket which does no good to the team. Can play 14 high intensity IPL matches but not 2 series in a row?? https://t.co/hKq7sfVpM8

Disappointed to See Rohit Sharma missing ODIs.. He already has rested for SA T20s at home and by chance got rest in 1 off test too.. But it’s amusing to see he still wants to miss WI ODI series.. He should have set better Example being the All Format Captain!
