Rohit’s captaincy will change once he hits form: ex-partner’s bold assertion

Delhi: Former Indian cricketer Suresh Raina believes that if Rohit Sharma gets back his form before the Champions Trophy, then there will be a big difference in his captaincy. Recently, Rohit’s performance has not been as expected, especially during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. In this Test series against Australia, he scored only 31 runs in 5 innings. In the last Test, he took himself out of the team, but India lost this series 1-3.

Rohit’s poor form

After this, Rohit played a match against Jammu and Kashmir in the Ranji Trophy for Mumbai in domestic cricket, but his bat remained silent and Mumbai had to face defeat. Then his form did not return in the first ODI against England. In this match, Yashasvi Jaiswal batted fast, but Rohit was seen playing carefully.

However, his strategy was not effective and Saqib was caught out on the ball of Mahmood by scoring 2 runs in just 7 balls. The Indian middle order took over the match and the team won by 4 wickets and took a 1-0 lead in the series.

Suresh Raina expressed confidence

Talking to Sports 18 after the match, Suresh Raina said that Nagpur’s pitch was a good chance for Rohit to return to the form, but he could not take advantage of it. He said, “If Rohit had played a little fiercely here, he could have done well. Now the next match is in Cuttack, where he can get his form back. If he gets into rhythm before the Champions Trophy, then there will be a change in both his captaincy and batting. “

Significantly, Rohit has been able to score only 166 runs in the last 16 international innings.
