The former player said that no individual should be bigger than the game, be it Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli or even head coach Rahul Dravid. Sodhi reckons rest should only be allowed if there’re a genuine reason behind it.
Speaking to India News, Sodhi said:
He added:
For those not in the know, seven Indian players have been rested or dropped after the T20 World Cup. They are Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Ravichandran Ashwin, Axar Patel, Mohammed Shami and Dinesh Karthik.
“Decide whether you want to keep Rohit Sharma till 2023 ODI World Cup” – Saba Karim
Former India selector Saba Karim thinks the selectors should declare whether they want to keep Rohit Sharma as captain only till the 2023 World Cup or beyond. He feels Hardik Pandya should take on the baton in white ball cricket after the 2023 ODI World Cup, especially in T20I cricket.
Speaking on the same show as Sodhi, Karim said:
The Hardik Pandya-led team will play their opener in Wellington on Friday (November 18). The action will then shift to Mount Maunganui (November 20) and Napier (November 22) for the last two T20Is.
India’s squad for New Zealand T20Is: Hardik Pandya (C), Shubman Gill, Ishan Kishan, Deepak Hooda, Suryakumar Yadav, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant (VC and WK), Sanju Samson (WK), Washington Sundar, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, Harshal Patel, Mohd. Siraj, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Umran Malik
Meanwhile, Shikhar Dhawan-led ODI side will look to avenge India’s 3-0 whitewash (2019-20) in their last series in New Zealand.
