Former India cricketer Ajay Jadeja has suggested that captain Rohit Sharma better not return for the second Test match against Bangladesh which begins on December 22. Earlier, India won the first Test match by a margin of 188 runs to take 1-0 lead in two match series.
But the win came under makeshift skipper KL Rahul as Rohit had flown out to Mumbai after he had injured his finger while playing in the second ODI. And in his absence, it was Shubman Gill and KL Rahul who had opened for India. But with reports of Rohit’s possible return, there are chances that Gill might have to sit out and that too despite scoring a century. Moreover, he could have been accommodated in the middle, but with Pujara also among the runs, this looks like a distant scenario.
“Tabhi toh bol raha hu Rohit ko bolo ghar me baithne keliye (That is why I suggest Rohit should stay at home). When a player suffers a hand fracture and you cannot hold the bat for about 10 days, even if you recover, you cannot really join the team the very next day. It takes another 1- to 15 days. And we don’t even know the extent of the injury yet. That is why I suggest this. We are looking for a temporary solution and this is the best solution for it,” he said during his conversation with Sony Sports.
“I love bowling with Kookaburra balls, it gives me better grip and control, compared to the SG ball,” said Kuldeep after the win.
