asterix Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Rohit has been a great captain for MI in IPL and led his team to 5 IPL trophies. However, looking at his current form and fitness level, he shouldn’t even be part of the India T20 team, especially for the WC. There are no dearth of talented young players and I believe Rohit, Virat etc shouldn’t be part of the T20 WC bound Indian Team.

India does not have lot of talented players who can play modern day T20.Guy like Pandya also stinks while batting at number 4.India might be the worst big team in terms of talent as far as T20s is concerned.

asterix Posted April 13, 2022 Author Share Posted April 13, 2022 Also with this worst performance in this IPL, what sort of motivation Rohit will have leading the team in T20WC? By the looks if it, he doesn’t have any outright motivation to lead from the front anymore. As a captain also, on field, he mostly lookscresigned to his fate. The type of team selections he’s been involved with, even after losing so many matches and going through the agony of Post Match Interviews, he’s unable to drop under performers. As a opening batsman, he’s not giving good starts and mostly perishes in the PP. Even the commentators don’t bother him asking more questions looking at his pathetic situation. I don’t know about Kohli etc, but he shouldn’t be in the T20 WC Team, leave aside leading it. PS: I’ve started to hate Ishan zkishan now. There are far more talented young openers out there. Even Gill & Shaw will give a decent opening. V Iyer is a hack. He’s been found out. Vijy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ishan Kishen was always going to be a limited player as he does not have the repertoire of strokes or technique against good fast bowling. I don't think we can say Rohit is not motivated. Rohit had no financial reason to establish himself back into test team but he did hard yards to prove himself as opener unlike guy like Pandya who just quit test cricket. Like Kohli he is also getting old.Rohit at this stage of his career will never be a fast starter in t20s . asterix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Not just captain, almost the entire team with only few exceptions that we played in the last World T20 is not fit to represent India in T20s. But unfortunately, selectors will end up picking almost the same team and I don't expect the result to change much. nevada, express bowling and asterix 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 1. Rohit 2. Rahul 3. Kohli This is going to be our top 3. All are top order are "consolidators". Rahul is actually capable of hitting but he plays like a meek sheep when he opens. asterix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone Wolf Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 As tournament is in Australia I don't expect BCCI to send a young team. At best we can hope one among Shaw/Gill opens. Rest of the batting will depend on Pant SKY. Bowling is in even worse shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mariyam Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 @OP you could have stopped at Rohit Sharma is not fit. This is a conundrum which future scientists can ponder over: A super fit Kohli is in a 2 year batting slump. A seemingly unfit RoSha also is in an extended batting slump. What gives?

Clarke Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Imagine Hardik as captain in T20 WC after GT somehow winning the the IPL. Him dishing it out on Rohit the opener, Kohli at #3 and himself at #4 is a mouthwatering prospect asterix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkProfile Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Am I watching a different IPL season from the rest of the posters who complain that Rohit is in a batting slump? Because to me, he looks to be timing and hitting the ball as elegantly as before. His only problem has been converting those solid starts into meaningful innings. Why? I don't know... maybe he's trying to carry the load of aggressive hitting from Kishan, who sure looks to be in a batting slump. sage 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are so uncertain that guy like Kishen is even upto international standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeasonedIPLer Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 His captaincy has always been vastly overrated. For years he has had the best team on paper and won IPLs with it and people gave him all the credit. the moment he doesn’t have the strongest team,he looks like a headless chicken in captaincy. he is no better than Virat. True challenge is what you can do when you don’t have the best players around and Rohit has truly failed in that regard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
