Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, who haven’t played much T20 cricket since 2022, are expected to take flights to the United States and the Caribbean , watch ICC matches. Former Indian cricket team star Navjot Singh Sidhu, who is set to return to the commentary box after a decade in the upcoming edition of the Indian Cricket League (IPL), has spoken out about the pair’s plans for 2024 There is an interesting take on the characters in the T20 World Cup.

“They are needed there. They are giants of the world of cricket. Form is like morning dew, it can hide you, but the class of these men carries the stamp of authority.

“I think Kohli is the greatest Indian batsman for the simple reason of his fitness, he gets fitter with age like an old wine. Technically very good, he has adapted to all three formats The incredible skill of Rohit, too,” Sidhu explained in his unique style.

“Both are good players. I’m not sure about Rohit’s fitness level. As you get older, you get slower and your reflexes diminish. Sehwag wears glasses and his reflexes are not as good.” Same, I saw it in IPL.”

Sidhu had closely followed India’s performance at last year’s ODI World Cup, where the hosts were the only unbeaten team in the group stages before finishing runners-up. The eventual defeat extended their long wait for a world title, but Sidhu wasn’t too worried.

“In the last World Cup, they played very well, but they just played a bad game. A bad game cannot measure the fate of a team. I see the Indian team dominating for a long time because of the training system of cricketers. Very complete.” Friendly and helpful.

“In my time, despite poor form, people would persevere because there was no replacement. Now, Hardik Pandya is replacing the Indian captain as the captain of Mumbai Indians because of his performance Very good.

“This is not a disparagement of Rohit but just a thought process. The old order has to give way to the new order,” Sidhu said.

There are various options for the wicket-keeper batsman position in the World Cup squad, including Ishan Kishan, Rishabh Pant, Sanju Samson and KL Rahul, among others.

Sidhu said he would select someone with good batting ability and his batting ability would be “secondary”.

It’s been a while since the 60-year-old has been hosting the mic, but three days after his “first” commentary comeback, the former India opener is as enthusiastic as ever.

“Boss, cricket is my first love. If your hobby becomes your career, there is nothing better than this. A duck never forgets how to swim and I will take comments like a fish takes to water,” he explain.
