๐จ๐จ Ravi Ashwin exposes the team management & selectors over Rohit Sharma's retirement news:
"Rohit's retirement news was not just an outside noise, there is no smoke, if there is no fire. There was fire but now Rohit Sharma scored & shut the fire down.
Rohit Sharma & Virat Kohli are untouchable as long as they want to play coz they have the credentials + they are the batters. They are batters that is why they can't be touched, if they touch them their fan army will ask question & there will be so much noise.
But if they don't pick Shami, Siraj or Bhuvi then maybe 10 people gonna ask, 100 or at max 10,000, they won't make enough noise. If for bowlers also people raise similar noise as batters then it won't be easy to drop them either."
Rohit Sharma winning the champions trophy without Bumrah and with Gambhir as coach tells you exactly why he's the greatest white ball captain India has ever had.
People blame Gambhir for removing Rohit Sharma from Captaincy but the mastermind is Tendulkar whose daughter is dating Shubman Gill. Ajit Agarkar owes his career to Sachin so itโs very easy to connect dots. Sachin also removed Rohit from MI Captaincy.
Today, two possibilities are on cards, Rohit Sharma scores a glorious century and silent all the speculations or Rohit fails with bat and announces retirement immediately after. Rohit is not going to play at the mercy of Gambhir or Agarkar.
What a phenomenal century by Rohit Sharma! Just when the critics had written him off, he reminded everyone why class is permanent and greatness never fades.
The biggest failure of this new management under GG is making the one man who walked the talk and play fearless brand of cricket on the biggest stage of his life, think twice before dancing down the track in a bilateral because that man now does not have any security.
Pathetic.
If BCCI is serious about the ODI WC compaign then ask your ghante ka chief selector Ajit Agarkar to go & beg Rohit Sharma to take back captaincy.
If he is playing ODI WC then why the hell you sacked him when he was on insane winning run in ICC tournaments where he just lost 1 game across 3 tournaments? Your newely appointed captain Shubman Gill already lost 3 ODI series & won only against Afghanistan at home.
If we want to win the world cup then we need Rohit Sharma as captain, we wouldn't have said the same if he wasn't playing but since he is still playing ODIs, he should be captaining this side. Period!
Vintage Hitman! First Indian to hit a century at the Lordโs in an ODI match! When @ImRo45 gets into his rhythm, there's hardly a better sight in cricket. Absolute class, brother! ๐๐ฎ๐ณ
