New Delhi: Former Indian Women’s Captain Anjum Chopra believes that Rohit Sharma’s performance was not good and the Mumbai Indians could not set the tone in the IPL.
The former MI Captain narrowed the impact on the side led by Hardik Pandya to the impact with a series of low scores of 0,8, 13, 17 and 18.
MI has won 12 wins in its most recent match against the Delhi Capitals on Sunday and was beaten with four losses and two wins in seventh place of the 10 teams.
“You may be out of place. Disconnecting is not a crime. The only idea is that it doesn’t help, and it’s not that the Mumbai Indians are looking for or starting at the top lead,” Anjum told the PTI video in an exclusive interaction on Tuesday.
Anjum suggests that if Rohit’s famous post at the top cannot give them the reward they are looking for, demoting him to order would solve the problem.
“So, I mean, they have a choice, they can always think of putting Rohit Sharma off the order, or not taking advantage of all of these options are always there. But that’s not to say Rohit Sharma is inconsistent, it’s just that sometimes you don’t start the game or the treble on good notes and will have the effect of being like a batsman or as a batsman,” he said.
“So, it’s part and the package. Just like we are, we’re watching the IPL or the World Cup. But tell me in the World Cup, do you want your best batsman to show up in the World Cup?
“Some people recover from this and go to the next game faster than most or others. Not everyone else can’t get in. He didn’t have that start, but then we know what kind of player he is, or what kind of game champion he is.”
Shafali is not frustrating at all
===========================
For the young opener Shafali Verma, it wasn’t doom and melancholy, and Anjum advised him not to be discouraged after being ignored again.
“If she rests or falls from India, there’s always a chance to make a comeback. I mean, it’s happening to anyone. It’s not that heaven has fallen or the tide has changed. Every player has gone through it.
“So, for a player of one age, if she starts thinking and people around her start thinking it’s her curtains, I think it’s a wrong idea. A 20-year-old, 21-year-old player can always watch it just the beginning of my career.
“I don’t think it’s curtains for her. I mean, we play for India at the end of the day. So you’ll expect that kind of competition.” Anjum said, who had 12 tests in India, 127 ODIs and 18 T20IS’s Anjum said.
