One thing about Rohit u have to accept is he has evolved greatly as a batter post Covid. He has had too many knocks where the wkt and conditions were challenging. Chepauk 100, Ahmedabad 50, Lords 80, Oval & Nagpur 100s. Then the 80 odd at Lucknow in WC, or how he took on Henry in Dharmashala under haze, t20 wc semi 50, Yesterday when the ball was nipping around a lot, or the way he changed his game in PP since the Australia series before 2023 WC, then the Sri Lanka Odi series post t20 wc. Too many games to suggest he has constantly adjusted to the conditions and he'll be turning 40 next summer so really worth appreciating that he is still motivated.

Reason for the rift between Hardik and Krunal
The rift between Krunal and Hardik started last year. It happened during a Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy match between Baroda and Punjab, where both brothers were playing. Hardik scored 77 runs in that match, and Baroda won.
After the match in the hotel Krunal Pandya asked Hardik for a glass of water but Hardik refused and said, “Five years ago, I had asked you for the same but you didn’t give it to me.” Since then Krunal has been upset with Hardik.
