Sarandeep Singh said, “Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have given their services to Indian cricket for a long time and it is not easy to replace them. But, Team India is doing well now. After Rohit’s retirement, Shubman Gill has taken over the captaincy of the team and has also held Kohli’s number 4 post well.”
Delhi: Before the tour of England, Virat Kohli’s sudden retirement from Test cricket surprised everyone. Looking at his fitness and form, it seemed that he could play at least two more years. Former Indian cricketers like Madan Lal and Yograj Singh also appealed to Kohli to withdraw the decision to retire. Prior to Virat, Rohit Sharma also said goodbye to Test cricket.
Now former Team India spinner Sarandeep Singh has revealed his opinion. He said that now the time has come that the Indian team moved forward and give full support to the new generation.
“Kohli-Rohit gave a lot, now give the new team a chance”
Sarandeep Singh said, “Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have given their services to Indian cricket for a long time and it is not easy to replace them. But, Team India is doing well now. After Rohit’s retirement, Shubman Gill has taken over the team’s captaincy and has also held Kohli’s number 4 position well.”
He added, “Shubman Gill has scored more than 600 runs in Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, which is a great performance. His captaincy has the balance of the team, which includes experienced players like KL Rahul and many young faces.”
‘Give full support to the new team’
Sarandeep said, “I think the time has come for the team to move forward. Under the leadership of Shubman Gill, this young Indian team is moving towards the future. We should support this team and give confidence to these players, so that they can also become veterans in the coming years.”
