Rohit Sharma
Rohit Sharma in Ranji Trophy: The Indian team will soon play T20 and then ODI series against England, but at this time everyone’s eyes are on the Champions Trophy. Another ICC tournament is around the corner and preparations for it have started. Although Team India should have been announced by now, there is some delay in it. It is almost certain that Rohit Sharma will lead the Indian team in the Champions Trophy. Meanwhile, the news is that Rohit Sharma can be seen in another tournament before this. It is not sure whether he will play in the tournament or not, but it is certain that he will definitely stay with the team and try to regain his lost form.
Rohit Sharma joins his team Mumbai in Ranji Trophy
The second phase of Ranji Trophy is going to start from January 23. Meanwhile, news is coming about Indian team captain Rohit Sharma that he has joined the training camp of Mumbai team. He batted and also interacted with the rest of the players of the team. It is not that he has joined the team only for one day, he will stay for a long time. However, the picture is not clear yet whether he will play for Mumbai in the Ranji Trophy match with Jammu and Kashmir or not. A Cricinfo report states that according to Mumbai head coach Omkar Salvi, there is a possibility that Rohit Sharma may be available for at least one of the two remaining matches. Mumbai’s team has not been announced yet for this tournament, if they are selected in the team then they can be seen playing some matches.
Rohit Sharma is not ready to accept defeat
Rohit Sharma’s form is going haywire at the moment. This was the reason that in the last match of the series played against Australia, the captain withdrew his name and Rohit Sharma took over the responsibility of captaincy. Rohit Sharma is now almost 37 years old and is not in form, yet he is determined not to back down. During the Australia series itself, he had made it clear that he was not going to retire yet, he would make a comeback.
Rohit Sharma did not score runs in Australia and New Zealand series
Rohit Sharma’s form can be gauged from the fact that he was seen playing three matches of the series against Australia. He scored only 31 runs in its 5 innings. He has also scored more runs than many bowlers. Even Jasprit Bumrah had taken more runs than Rohit Sharma i.e. 32 wickets in that series. It is not that Rohit Sharma did not perform well only during Australia, before this when the New Zealand team was on the tour of India, Rohit had performed quite shamefully also. This was the reason that first New Zealand defeated the Indian team and after that it had to face defeat in Australia also.
Great opportunity to prepare before the Champions Trophy
If Rohit Sharma plays even a single match for his team in Ranji Trophy and gets runs from his bat, it will be very beneficial for him. Not only will their confidence rise, but they will also go into the Champions Trophy with new enthusiasm and energy. Whatever happens in the India vs England series, the real challenge is the Champions Trophy. Where apart from Bangladesh and New Zealand, the Indian team will also compete with Pakistan.
