wanted_desi Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 I clearly fail to understand the investment that selectors are making into Rohit Sharma. He is going to be 31 in April. With current set up, he is not going to be in starting 11, unless there is an injury to Rahane/Kohli/Pujara. That means that for 31 years old player to get one game here and there seems pointless to me. In couple of years, when Kohli/Rahane/Pujara will be at end of their careers, Rohit will not be the one who will need to take over the important roles from them. It will be someone from next generation who will be hitting his peak years 27-33 batting wise. Are these selectors/management incompetent or there is some vision behind the selection? tweaker 1 Link to comment

But 85 avg in last series does not count much. Let's see if he has few more such series against better teams outside subcontinent . velu, beetle and maniac 1 2 Link to comment

Ankit_sharma03 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 You know its a good if a captain is backing a player but starnge he is backing a wrong horse so much who has weaknesses of no limit And a guy who scored 300 isnt backed. Someone like KL who can be next best all format batsman after kohli isnt backed Pant - usko to dekha bhi nhin Pujara after a few failure will start finding his place in danger from Rohit .
