T20 World Cup: Rohit Sharma’s funny smile says it all on Virat Kohli SR question. BCCI chief selector said this. cricket news

Two days after the T20 World Cup squad was announced, Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma and BCCI chief selector Ajit Agarkar addressed reporters on the selected members. Rinku Singh, KL Rahul and Shubman Gill were the most notable absentees from the 15-member squad and Agarkar spoke candidly on the subject. The exclusion of Rinku, who scored 356 runs in T20Is for India at an average of 89 and a strike rate of 176.24, became a major talking point since the announcement of the Indian squad two days ago and sparked massive uproar on social media.

During this, Agarkar said, “This (not choosing Rinku) is probably the most difficult thing that we have discussed. They have not done anything wrong, not even Shubman Gill in this matter. It is their mistake.” Not that he missed. It’s about the combination.” A press conference.

“Some wrist spinners were included to give Rohit (Sharma) more options. There are two keepers, we needed an extra bowler. It is unfortunate. He is in the reserves, so it tells you that he is 15. How close I came to coming into existence.” But at the end of the day, you can only choose 15 players in the team.

Rinku has not had a good IPL season as he is not getting a chance to face enough balls, although he has made it to the list of reserve players. Rinku was swiftly included in the Indian T20 team after his stellar performance in the IPL last year, but this season he has managed to score only 123 runs in nine matches at a strike rate of 150.00.

Questions were also raised on Virat Kohli’s strike rate. Rohit started laughing when asked the question.

“We are not discussing Kohli’s strike-rate. There is a difference between IPL and international cricket. You need experience. We have enough balance and strength in the team. You see and take positives from what is happening in the IPL. Try to take.” The pressure of a World Cup game is different,” Ajit Agarkar downplays criticism of Virat Kohli’s strike-rate.

When he was asked about Rohit Sharma’s form in T20Is during the World Cup 2021, Kohli started smiling. When he was asked the strike rate of Virat Kohli today, Rohit started smiling.

The Indian captain also said that the reason behind not having a specialist off-spinner was that Washington Sundar has not been getting opportunities recently.

“Unfortunately Washi (Washington Sundar) has not been getting opportunities recently. Then it was between Ash (Ravichandran Ashwin) and Axar, we thought there are two left-arm spinners who are playing and doing well, and Ashwin has not played this format for a long time.

“Akshar was in really good form since the 50-over World Cup when he played the five-match series against Australia, if I am not mistaken he was man of the series. We also recognized that it gives us a left-handed option if we have to send in the middle order to try something different,” he concluded.
