Can Rohit Sharma be removed from the team before the World Cup starts?

[Downtown]

I understand it might be a bit late to make changes, but it seems like Rohit is well past his prime and is becoming a liability. Having a non-performing player as the captain of a World Cup team could potentially lead to a disaster. Do you think the management should consider making a bold decision and replacing him in the team? Can they make Bumrah the captain?

Removing captain one month before World cup, now that will happen forsure. Nothing we do will make any difference now, these things take time. Look at Pakistan, they invested in their youngsters years ago and hence they are getting fruits now. Posters here were shouting in 2019 to look at making these changes.

Lol..

 

 

We should worry about Chahal returning to the team on the back of his tiktok performances. Rohit is not going anywhere.

Should he be removed?   Yes.   Can he be removed?   No

This is what has been said since 2019.

 

All Rohit and Kohli (even Rahul) do is pad up stats against minnows scoring daddy hundreds and lose out in crunch games.

 

Then they say "we didn't play bad, it's just tough luck" - and then keep getting selected for 2 more years.

 

By this time players like Tilak, Rinku, Jaiswal etc. who are in red hot form and at the prime of their life will be discarded to toil in ranjis and tournaments where they do not get the chance to uplevel their skills against top sides.

 

We have been seeing this template for last 10 years now. This is why Jadeja, Ashwin, Kohli, Rohit, Pujara, Rahane and the rest of the seniors still keep coming back to the side.

They can't differentiate between formats.

Kohli actually has genuine fans plus PR bots. But with Rohit it is exclusively PR bots.
