Cricket Fans have always known that Rohit has been a great entertainer and character both on and off the field. His knack for giving humorous answers in Press Conferences has always entertained the fans. This time was no different as he was asked who would be opening the bowling along with Jasprit Bumrah, he gave a witty answer, “5 tareekh ko match hai, abhi bolke kya karunga? Abhi kyun jaanna hai aapko combination?”
As always everyone in the press conference was all laughs. During the conference, Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar and Rohit Sharma answered several questions such as the exclusion of Rinku Singh, KL Rahul, Virat Kohli’s Strike Rate and much more.
The revelation of India’s 15-player lineup for the T20 World Cup scheduled for June has stirred a mix of astonishment and dissatisfaction, reflecting selectors’ strategic balance between seasoned expertise and current form to break an 11-year dry spell in ICC trophy victories.
Sanju Samson and Yuzvendra Chahal stood out as significant additions, acknowledged for their outstanding displays during the ongoing IPL season. Nevertheless, the exclusion of Rinku Singh and Shubman Gill from the primary squad has sparked curiosity, indicating a preference for tried-and-tested players in pursuit of championship success.
India Squad: Rohit Sharma (C), Hardik Pandya (VC), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant (Wk), Sanju Samson (Wk), Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohd. Siraj.
