He is still playig in T20 mode. But can't say he is not talented.Applicationis not there.As some one already suggested' date='he has to earn his place or work hard.I won't be surprised if he come up with a matchwinning knock in the remaining matches.[/quote'] I don't think he did well in T20 as well. Last 3 T20s were failures. This is a bad excuse. "Playing in T20 mode". Good players should know what they are playing and adjust accordingly.

ipl has screwed us up, screw lalit modi :((

[King Tendulkar]

Rohit should not be dropped. He has the required class and will deliver

Hope they kick him out for the next 2 ODIs. He needs to be out of the Indian squad, let him earn his spot back after sweating a year in domestics/A tours and showing the record to get in again.

He is a bit arrogant for my liking. He has to get his mind right else he might not even make it to the squad once Sehwag, Sach are back. Yesterday, Nehra and Rohit were awful on the field not just their fielding. I remember when Rohit misfielded our 'Jonty' Nehra was having a go at him. Then when Nehra himself misfielded at short third man Rohit was pointing to Bhajji as if saying "no more debts, that balances it out". Disgraceful!

[King Tendulkar]

My cricket eye tells me he is class and will be a future superstar. Number crunching provides an argument for him to be axed. But me thinks a special knock is round the corner to silence trhe critics! He is not a IPL lottery players. But someone who has technique and temperamnet to deliver in all formants. He will prove me right!

The question is WHEN He has given enough chances to show his performance. His ODI stats are miserable. Class is not everything, performance is what matters S Waugh was never classy, infact far from it, yet he is one of the greatest test bat of all times The most classy batsman from India - VVS Laxman was always on the sidelines or ignored becuase he was not performing when given chances, it was only during his 30s he performed and cemented his place If Rohit is given more chances without performance, its an injustice to other domestic players who toil waiting for a chance in the team or the ones who get 1 or 2 chances and thrown out

[King Tendulkar]

We will see. Time will show I am right! I would never drop Rohit Class Sharma. He will deliver very soon. Its about when not if!

[CricketGirl]

lets not discredit rohit sharma he is a good player and they all have "off" days but rohit has potential!! i agree its more when rather than if!!

I'm not sure how valid VVS' comparison is? He scored a 169 in Sydney when he was 25, scored the 281* when he was 27, etc. Nothing to do with being in 30s.

Personally, I think it was dumb that he was out of the squad after the 169. Nevertheless, I wasn't arguing your point about finding your legs in international cricket, just that the age range was messed up. He's not that old. :D

[kirtan]

Rohit will deliver in next match and we will give him another one and half years of chances as we did after the Aus series. Because he is class player, special talent.

[gaurav92]

ROHIT will be playing gem of an innings only when he realizes that every ball outside off is not the ball to drive.Sometimes a theory called "Swing" can also play an important role in getting the failure job done.He is classy but yes hes not at his peak .He needs to improve in his technique more

[vvvslaxman]

More than the technique he has to improve his shot selection.

[gs]

He needs to improve his motivation. Also, what's up with the unhealthy weight that he has gained lately.
