Rohit's big decision in view of T20 World Cup, will Kohli-Bumrah also do this work?
- Rohit Sharma played impressively against Kolkata
- Rohit does not want to take any risk regarding his fitness
- This decision has been taken keeping in mind the T20 World Cup.
Mumbai Indians and Kolkata Knight Riders faced each other in the 51st match of IPL 2024. This match was very important for Kolkata Knight Riders but it did not matter much for Mumbai Indians because the team's chances of reaching the playoffs were already over. In such a situation, Mumbai was playing only for its honour. In such a situation, Mumbai Indians and Rohit Sharma took a decision which will benefit Team India.
Rohit did not take risk
Actually, in this match, Mumbai Indians came to bowl first and in such a situation, former team captain and star opener Rohit Sharma was dropped from the playing eleven. But the special thing is that Rohit was not out of the match but was out of the playing eleven and he was included in the impact players, so that he could come on the field while batting. Actually, the reason for this is the T20 World Cup, because Rohit cannot take any risk regarding his fitness.
There will be a possibility of injury while fielding and in such a situation, Rohit decided to avoid it keeping the T20 World Cup in mind. If seen, this is better for Team India because Rohit is not only the captain of the team but is also in good form.
Will Kohli-Bumrah also do this?
Now the question arises whether other players selected for the World Cup, whose teams have not been able to qualify for the playoffs, will also take such a break. The biggest name among these is that of Virat Kohli, because his team Royal Challengers Bangalore is also out of the race for the playoffs. Will Virat Kohli also take a break in the match like Rohit? Not only Kohli, but questions are also raised about Jasprit Bumrah and Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya because they have a long injury history and it is not appropriate to take such a risk with them.
