Ranji Trophy played to save BCCI contract?: Big questions raised on Rohit-Yashwi

Delhi: Former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has strongly criticized Mumbai’s Test players, especially Rohit Sharma and Shreyas Iyer for the recent performance. After the defeat against Jammu and Kashmir, Gavaskar questioned the batsmen’s aggressive style. This defeat has come for the first time for this team of Mumbai in the last 10 years.

Question on aggressive style

Gavaskar praised all -rounders like Shardul Thakur and Tanush Kotion, who tried to save the team, but expressed concern over the technology and patience of Test batsmen.

He wrote in his column, “The dismissal of Mumbai’s Test batsmen again proves that a completely aggressive style is not effective every time. It can run on flat pitches, but where the ball is moving slightly, there is a need for good technology. “

Players playing in Ranji Trophy on the orders of BCCI?

Gavaskar also questioned whether the players are playing Ranji Trophy under the pressure of BCCI. He also mentioned the removal of BCCI contract of Ishaan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer last year, as they were not available for domestic cricket.

The former Indian captain said, “Whether his heart was in it or he did it just to ensure that his BCCI contract was not taken away, such as Ishaan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer’s contract was taken away, which was taken away from the Ranji Trophy Games last year He missed it, only they know. “

He further said, “The participation of Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal meant that Ayush Mhatre, who scored some centuries and some half -centuries, had to be out of the Mumbai team. It is expected that this young player would have spent some time with these two players and would have consulted him about increasing his batting capacity. “

Rohit Sharma, Shreyas Iyer and Yashasvi Jaiswal have now been released from the Mumbai team. These players will join the camp to prepare for the ODI series against England in Nagpur.
