After the loss of this Test series, Rohit Sharma’s captaincy is continuously being criticized. In such a situation, Shikhar Dhawan has come forward in support of Rohit and shown sympathy. Rohit Sharma’s friend and former opening partner Shikhar Dhawan does not consider New Zealand’s defeat as a matter of concern. Dhawan believes that it is unfair to question Rohit after losing just one series. He told India Today, “We do not feel the pressure you are talking about. Although there is pressure in the game, we are not affected by victory or defeat. It’s part of the game.” Shikhar Dhawan gave a big statement in defense of Rohit Sharma Shikhar Dhawan defended Rohit, saying, “I think this is neither a fair nor a practical approach to anything.” India had to face defeat against New Zealand by 8 wickets in Bengaluru and by 113 runs in Pune. With this, India’s streak of winning 18 consecutive Test series at home was broken. Dhawan, who retired from international and domestic cricket in August, said, “As a cricketer, we do not think like this. Rohit is a great captain. It is not just a matter of victory or defeat. The team has a bond with its captain and the team members respect him a lot.” The last Test of the India vs New Zealand series will be held in Mumbai from 1 to 5 November. India has to play five test matches on Australia tour from 22nd November. There is a high possibility that captain Rohit may miss the first one or two Test matches of the Australia series due to personal reasons. However, BCCI did not say anything officially in this regard while announcing the squad. At the same time, while giving a statement about India’s prospects in the upcoming Australia tour, Dhawan has expressed more expectations from Team India.

IND vs NZ: Rohit Sharma’s captaincy is now under question, these 4 things will increase the tension of the hitman
India has lost the test series at home after 12 years. Rohit Sharma (Image Credit- Twitter X) Team India’s performance in the Test series against New Zealand under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma has been very poor. New Zealand has already taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series. New Zealand won the second test played in Pune by 113 runs. Team India lost this test match within three days. India has lost a Test series at home to New Zealand for the first time in 69 years. After losing the Pune Test match, questions are once again being raised on Rohit’s captaincy. Fans and cricket experts are not happy with his performance. Now Rohit is being compared with former captain Virat Kohli, who was one of India’s most successful captains in Test cricket. Under the captaincy of Kohli, Team India continued to dominate at home. Rohit’s record at home Gautam Gambhir, Rohit Sharma, Mitchell Santner & Rachin Ravindra (Photo Source: Under Rohit, India has lost four out of 15 Test matches at home. He has reached joint second position in the list of Indian captains who have lost the most home Tests. Mohammad Azharuddin and Kapil Dev also lost four Tests each but both captained in 20-20 matches. In such a situation, Rohit’s record is a bit scary. Kohli, on the other hand, took charge of 31 Tests in India and lost only two of them. With the loss to New Zealand, India’s streak of 18 consecutive bilateral home series wins ended, which is a world record in itself.

IND vs SL: Pant or Rahul, who will get a chance in the first ODI match? Know what Captain Hitman said
KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant are part of Team India for the ODI series against Sri Lanka. Rohit Sharma (Photo Source: Getty Images) After winning the T20 series against Sri Lanka 3-0, Team India will now be eyeing to win the upcoming ODI series. The first match of the three-match ODI series will be played tomorrow (2 August) at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. Before this match, the biggest headache for captain Rohit Sharma will be whether Rishabh Pant should be selected in the playing eleven as a wicketkeeper or should he stick with KL Rahul? Meanwhile, before the match, captain Rohit Sharma has given a statement on this. He has said that it is a good thing to have such a problem. He also told who he would choose as wicketkeeper batsman for this match. Rohit Sharma gave this answer on the selection of Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul Captain Rohit Sharma, while answering this question in the press conference before the match, said how would he choose between KL Rahul and Rishabh? He said, “It is a difficult decision. Both of them are excellent players. You know the capabilities of both the players. When you have such quality, it is not easy to choose a team or player. Both these players are like that. They are match winners on their day. They have won many matches for us in the past.” Captain Rohit further said, “It is always good to have problems in selecting a team like this. You know, when you discuss a lot about who to choose and who not to, it means that there is quality in the team. So I think it is a good thing to have such problems and I wait for such problems as long as I am the captain.” From these statements of Rohit Sharma, it seems that Rishabh Pant may have to wait for now, because KL Rahul has been performing well as a wicketkeeper batsman for a long time. Rahul last played the ODI series in South Africa. At the same time, Pant played his last ODI international match in November 2022. He had a car accident in December.
