Rohit Sharma’s problem in hamstring
When Rohit Sharma, the captain of the Indian team, was playing against Pakistan, he suffered an injury to hamstring. While the Indian team was fielding, they also had to go to the dressing room for some time, although they came back shortly after. After this, when India batted, Rohit Sharma also landed as an opener. But their hamstring is completely fine or not, speculations are being made about it. The previous day was reported that Rohit Sharma did not practice with the team on Thursday and did not practice. Although there is nothing to worry about, but this has been done as a precaution. Now he can be given a rest in the match against New Zealand. So that for the semi -finals, they fit perfectly and get into the field. This match will be quite important.
India has to play two ODIs in three days
India’s next match is on 2 March and the semi -finals will be played on 4 March. That is, India has to play two matches within three days. During this time, the fitness of the players will also have to be taken care of. If Rohit Sharma is given rest, Shubman Gill may be seen taking command of the Indian team. He is currently the vice -captain of the team and he is also the biggest contender of the captaincy. Meanwhile, Rishabh Pant can be given a chance instead of Rohit. Rishabh Pant will open or not, this is a later thing, because if the team management wants to start the innings with KL Rahul too. Rahul has been opening before.
Rishabh Pant will get a chance to play in Champions Trophy for the first time
Rishabh Pant will be fit to play at number five and six. Anyway, there is no left -handed batsman in the top order, so Akshar Patel is sent to bat before KL Rahul. If Pant comes to Team India’s playing XI, then the tension of the left -handed batsman will also be removed. Pant has not played any match for the Champions Trophy yet, so he can be given a chance to play. The kind of explosives Pant bats, they know the whole world, but India has so many talented players that Pant has to sit outside. Even though the next match is not very important, the team will want to land in the semi -finals while continuing the victory campaign. It will have to be seen whether there are some changes in India’s playing eleven or Rohit Sharma gets fit and enters the field.
