In what came as a big surprise for the fans, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli were rested for the second ODI against West Indies. While the fans were still not over the reckless change in the batting order in the first ODI, the decision to drop two of India’s marquee players in a World Cup year did not sit well.
With no Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya came out for the toss and revealed the rationale behind resting Rohit and Virat. Pandya justified the decision in the name of workload management.
“Rohit and Virat have been playing constant cricket, few questions need to be answered for us so they are resting in this game. They can be fresh for the third ODI,” said Pandya at the toss. However, fans did not like this mindset of the Indian team management one bit as they termed the decision illogical.
Fans not too impressed with idea of resting Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma
While mentioning how Rohit Sharma came to bat at No.7 and Virat Kohli did not get a chance to bat at all, fans questioned the purpose of the two players in the squad. Meanwhile, a few fans called the lineup for the second ODI “weak”.
Check out the reactions.
It is worth mentioning that Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have not been included in the squad for the T20I series. Now, the two players will have only one game before the Asia Cup, scheduled to be played in August-September.
