India captain Rohit Sharma prepares for the first ODI against Sri Lanka and works with the crowd in Guwahati
India Today India captain Rohit Sharma prepares for the first ODI against Sri Lanka and works with supporters in Guwahati.
Just before the first ODI against Sri Lanka in Guwahati, India's commander Rohit Sharma had an exceptional net meeting.
Rohit, who was absent for the series' T20I leg, returned to captain the home team for the three-match ODI series, which gets underway on January 10. Rohit greeted his followers after his online meetup and graciously accepted their selfies and autographs.
In contrast to Ishan Kishan, who would sadly blow a significant opportunity, Rohit confirmed that Shubman Gill will open India's innings near to him. The commander of India reflected that he should seek Gill fairly if he was to perform consistently in 2022.
Last year, Gill played 12 ODIs, four more than Kishan. While Gill scored the first woman's ODI century of 2022, Kishan broke a few records her route to an incredible double ODI century.
" Kishan and Gill, the two openers, have performed excellent. However, considering what both have been through, I believe it is only fair to give Gill a chance to have a fair run given that in recent games Gill too received a lot of runs "During a question-and-answer session, Rohit added.
After Jasprit Bumrah recovered from a back injury that forced him to miss the T20 World Cup 2022, Rohit added that he wouldn't take any chances with the fast bowler.
Bumrah was selected for the series after initially being left out of the ODI team. However, the BCCI disallowed Bumrah before the first game because he wanted more time to develop his bowling versatility. The decision was made as a wise one, according to the Indian Cricket Board.
"It is awfully bad for him. The unhappy individual has been criticising the NCA for this time, "Rohit made a comment on Bumrah's absence.
