Rohit responded on the field with a commanding 138 in the match. Because he has had a bit of a tough time in one-day cricket, hopefully, he’ll get the results as well. Because he has done all the right things,” Gambhir said, but I am sure, I think things will turn around.
Ahead of that game, a media house had reported that the match could be the former India captain’s last and that he had been informed that he was no longer part of the team’s World Cup plans.
He has been calm, he has been selfless, he has been aggressive, he has said the right things… he leads by example, not only by runs. “He has actually ticked all the boxes. “So I feel that he has done all the right things. The situation around Rohit, in particular, has shifted considerably since the Lord’s ODI in July. Against that backdrop, Gambhir’s comments about Rohit and Virat underline the prominent role the two veterans continue to have around the ODI side.
Since then, BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia has also spoken strongly in support of the veteran batter. As India prepare to begin their three-match ODI series against the West Indies on Sunday, head coach Gautam Gambhir has highlighted the value of having Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli around captain Shubman Gill .
