Team India Veteran Voices Concerns Over The Underperforming Rohit Sharma

Team India batter Cheteshwar gets critical over Rohit Sharma's uneven form in red-ball cricket as his woes continue in the Border Gavaskar Trophy. According to the India veteran, Rohit's captaincy will suffer if he doesn't get back to his previous level of play. He continued that the captain should concentrate on steadily scoring his first 20 or 30 runs.

"My thoughts on Rohit Sharma as a captain and as a player. First of all, I would like Rohit Sharma to come back to form as soon as possible. Because when he scores runs, it will affect his captaincy as well. When a captain is out of form, it affects his captaincy as well. So, I think when scores runs, it will affect his captaincy. Rohit Sharma is an experienced player. He knows how to score runs when batting. He is going through some bad form. But even there, a start is very important for him.

"He should focus on getting his first 20 or 30 runs steadily. After that, he can capitalize on the start and convert it into a big score. So, hopefully, when he comes in the first half or quarter of an hour, he should focus on getting a start," Pujara was quoted as per Star Sports.
