Rohit Sharma (Image Credit- Twitter X) The Indian team is currently trailing 2-0 in the three-match Test series against New Zealand. India had to face defeat in the home Test series after 12 years. 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.

BGT 2024: MSK Prasad is also very disappointed after not seeing Cheteshwar Pujara in Team India in the upcoming Test series against Australia.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India has recently announced Team India for the upcoming 5 match test series. In the list of experienced batsmen, only the names of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and KL Rahul are there. Many people were quite surprised to see that experienced player Cheteshwar Pujara has not been included in Team India in the upcoming 5-match Test series.

Recently, Cheteshwar Pujara scored his 9th double century in an important Ranji Trophy match against Chhattisgarh. MSK Prasad said, ‘Cheteshwar Pujara recently scored a double century in Ranji Trophy. He also has experience and the strength that Team India needs in Australia would also be provided by Pujara. I think that if he had to select Nitish Reddy, he would have played the young player in at least one match for India A. Cheteshwar Pujara will not be seen playing in Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024 Let us tell you that Cheteshwar Pujara’s record in Australia has been tremendous. He has scored 993 runs in 11 matches at an average above 47, which includes three centuries and five half-centuries.

Team India had won this test series by 2-1. Cheteshwar Pujara failed to show a strong performance in the final of the World Test Championship 2023 and after that he was never included in Team India.

“Out of T20 mentality…”, Sanjay Manjrekar angry at this decision taken for Rohit Sharma in Pune Test.
I think he (Rohit Sharma) should proceed based on the overall quality and ability of the players – Sanjay Manjrekar Rohit Sharma and Sanjay Manjrekar (Photo Source: Team India suffered a humiliating defeat by 113 runs in the second match of the three-match Test series against New Zealand. After this match, New Zealand has won the series by taking a 2-0 lead. India has lost the Test series at home after 12 years. The team is facing a lot of criticism on social media. Some decisions taken by captain Rohit Sharma during the series are under question, including the decision to bat first in overcast conditions in Bengaluru. In the first innings of the first Test, Team India was all out for 46, which is the team’s lowest score in Test matches in Asia. Another decision that is being examined is to prepare a spin-friendly track in the second Test as it became a problem for India. Meanwhile, the cricket commentator talked about another decision of Team India, which did not benefit the team at all. Things like this should not happen – Sanjay Manjrekar Sanjay Manjarkar, while talking about the changes made in the batting order of Team India, has warned captain Rohit Sharma. In the fourth of the second Test, India sent Washington Sundar before Sarfaraz Khan after the fall of Rishabh Pant and retained the left-right combination. Manjrekar termed Rohit Sharma’s decision as disheartening and said that the Indian captain should come out of the T20 mindset. Sanjay Manjrekar while speaking on ESPNCricinfo said, The decision to make Sarfaraz Khan bat lower down the order and send Washington Sundar above him because he is a left-handed batsman, things like this should not happen. This is very strange. This is something that Rohit Sharma needs to be careful about. They should take care of T20 mindset. Left and right hand combinational do not need to match. I think they should move forward based on the overall quality and ability of the players. In the second innings of the second test, both Sarfaraz Khan (9) and Washington Sundar (21) could not play big innings. And Team India was all out at 245 while chasing the target of 359 runs.
