Dubai: India’s Captain Rohit Sharma said on Wednesday that he hopes the “best” batsman Shubman Gul has taken his flare up in the Champions Trophy.
The tournament’s favorite India begins its campaign against Bangladesh at Dubai International Stadium on Thursday at home with a 3-0 ODI swip in England. After that, India plays arc revival Pakistan in a blockbuster on Sunday.
Vice captain Gul was a series of series against England, including 259 runs, including a century and two half tons in Australia, with a flexible Test series in Australia to return to the form. Rohit said of his deputy, “Gul is a very good player, there was never doubt about his ability in this squad.”
“We mix the formats and I don’t think any player is the right way to do justice. With Gul, we know that the number is crazy, he has been great for us in the last three to four years. He added, “Obviously there is one reason that he has been raised to become the vice -captain of the team, hopefully he has a great tournament and eventually we get these things to get us. Will help whom we are looking for to get “
Focus will be on Rohit, which opens the batting with Gill, and Star Batsman Virat Kohli has a point to talk about the future of two stalworts before the 50 overs tournament. In India’s 3-1 Test defeat in Australia, both Rohit and Kohli scored poor runs with BAT but they were good in England ODIs.
In the second match, 37 -year -old Rohit targeted 119 and Kohli (36), who came to bat third, scored 52 runs to respond to critics. Rohit said that India’s top order has a lot of experience to post a large number.
Rohit said, “The key to winning this format, your top three or five batsmen, you need to post this big score to post a big score.” “So I think our top four batsmen are quite experienced and we know that once they are set, once they enter, they like to get these big runs.”
The return of high -speed bowler Mohammad Shami has promoted the team’s morale, especially in the absence of twenty -one Quick Jaspat Bumra, which is out of waist injury. The 34 -year -old Shami returned to international cricket in the White Ball series after more than a year due to injury and took five wickets in two T20s and two ODIs.
Rohit said, “We just wanted the Syrian to return to Indian colors more than anything.” “Whether it gets wickets or not, it was completely unusual for us at the time. When you talk about a bowler like Syrian who has worked for us in many years … then it’s just their rhythm It is a matter of returning.
Indian spinner Kuldeep Yadav also returned from hernia surgery in recent ODIs and further added to the spin heavy bowling attack and Rohit said he “looks confident”. Rohit said of the leftist wrist spinner, “The two games they played will not show the number and you do not have to see the numbers with some players.”
He added, “And if these two boys are in form, the team looks great.” After refusing to meet the host Pakistan on long -standing political tensions, India will play all its matches in Dubai and Rohit said the key to performing at the Dubai Stadium would have to be reviewed by the “as soon as possible”.
India – especially this 15 -member squad – is in Dubai to challenge this idea. In his recent ODI series, he showed that his batsmen could score immediate runs without inviting inappropriate danger, and their bowlers showed that they could make mistakes repeatedly. It was not just a dry run on how they hope to win this Champions Trophy.
It was a dry run on how to win without his best player. Jasprett Bumra, whose expertise enables it to create every phase of the game, in fact it comes at its price and his body is currently paying it.
