After a heart-wrenching defeat in the ICC ODI WC 2023, there have been talks going on that skipper Rohit Sharma should bid adieu to the game whose tactics weren’t that productive. Rohit Sharma had a brilliant World Cup as a batter and it won’t be wrong to say that the batter has a couple of more years left in him.
The star batter Virat Kohli would be keen to make a statement that he is not done yet as the batter struck a half-century against Australia but couldn’t convert it into a big one. Virat Kohli attained a massive feat in ODI WC 2023 when he struck his 50th ODI ton and looked untroubled against the opposition unit.
The two stalwarts of Indian cricket Virat & Rohit would be aware of the fact that they don’t have age on their side but they have to make the most of then opportunities given by Ajit Agarkar’s selection panel. All in all, the billion people would be hoping that the duo brings out their best in the near future.
Virat Kohli along with Rohit Sharma should be an automatic choice- Gautam Gambhir
Gautam Gambhir was having an interaction with Sportskeeda. Gautam Gambhir wants the Ajit Agarkar led selection panel to include both Virat & Rohit for the upcoming T20 WC 2024. Gautam Gambhir pointed out that Rohit Sharma has proved his leadership and batting in ODI WC 2023 and said that Rohit Sharma should be selected as a skipper who can bat.
“They both need to get picked, both should be picked. More importantly, I want to see Rohit Sharma as captain in the T20 World Cup. Yes, Hardik has been captaining in T20Is but I would still want to see Rohit as captain in the World Cup,” said Gautam Gambhir.
“Don’t pick Rohit Sharma only as a batter. Rohit is a phenomenal leader, he has proved that with his leadership and batting in this ODI World Cup. If you are picking Rohit, which you should then he should be selected as a captain who can bat. And Virat also should be an automatic choice,” he added.
