In the Kanpur Test match against Bangladesh, Rohit has won the toss and decided to bowl.
The second match of the ongoing Test series between India and Bangladesh (IND vs BAN) is being played at the Green Park Stadium in Kanpur. So in this match, captain Rohit Sharma’s decision to bowl after winning the toss was heavily criticized in the cricket world. On the other hand, now a new name has been added to this list of former Indian cricketer and well-known cricket commentator Sanjay Manjrekar. Manjrekar has asked some questions through social media regarding Rohit’s decision to bowl after winning the toss. Manjrekar says that he doesn’t know why Rohit did not use Ravindra Jadeja against left-handed batsmen.
Sanjay Manjrekar asked Rohit Sharma this question
Let us tell you that Sanjay Manjrekar wrote in a post from his official X account – Rohit will have to show these figures. Jadeja vs Cook 2016 series, got him out 6 times in 8 innings, giving just 75 runs. When there is a left-handed batsman, Rohit does not make Jadeja bowl quickly.

So, in the post match presentation with ESPN Cricinfo after the stumps of the second day of the Kanpur Test match, Manjrekar said – Every captain has a vision keeping in mind the bowlers he has. There is nothing wrong in this, because captains trust some bowlers more. I have noticed, especially not in this series, when it comes to spin, Rohit likes Ashwin a bit more. On the other hand, if we give information about the ongoing second Test match at Green Park Stadium, today on 28th September, due to rain, the second day’s play could not even start. At stumps on the first day, after 35 overs, Bangladesh have scored 107 runs in the first innings.
