Sunil Gavaskar Questions Significance of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in Scoring Runs Against West Indies
While cricket aficionados and fans alike celebrated Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli for their record-breaking runs in the recently concluded Test series against West Indies, Sunil Gavaskar has raised questions about the duo’s significance in the same. The former Indian cricketer has suggested a change in approach and requested the selectors to consider the future of cricket rather than persistently relying on the same players.
Previously, Gavaskar had questioned the selection of Kohli, Rohit, and Ajinkya Rahane and asked if the Ajit Agarkar-led selection panel would back young players.
He wrote in his column for Mid-Day, “The runs scored by Rohit and Kohli against this West Indies attack begs the question, what did the selectors learn that they didn’t know already?”
He further added, “Wouldn’t it have been better to try out some youngsters and see how they take to Test cricket, or is it that the selectors don’t want any sort of challenge from the younger lot to the established players?”
