Due to the ODI World Cup, we are not playing T20Is – Rohit Sharma

Senior players like Rohit and Virat Kohli have not been playing T20I cricket to manage their workload ahead of the World Cup. Ravindra Jadeja also has not been playing T20Is for the same reason. , “Last year also we did the same thing — the T20 World Cup was there, so we didn’t play one-day cricket. Now also we are doing the same, the ODI World Cup is there, so we are not playing T20s.” Rohit was quoted as saying as per Hindustan Times.

India have also had their fair share of troubles when it comes to locking down the number 4 spot in ODIs. Many contenders have been tried. The team has not been able to find a solution. During the 2019 World Cup, Dinesh Karthik, Rishabh Pant, Vijay Shankar and Hardik Pandya were tried in the no 4 slot but none of them gave deserving performances to seal that spot. Ambati Rayudu was the frontrunner for the no 4 slot but he was sidelined to the reserves in the end,
