Kapil Dev breaks silence on Indian captain Rohit Sharma

With important players Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma missing the South Africa tour of India 2022, a lot of questions were raised. Moreover, both of them have been struggling with the form for quite some time now. Former cricketer India first world cup captain Kapil Dev breaks silence on Indian captain Rohit Sharma.

The Cricket fraternity has been divided on what would work the best for the players and also team India for the upcoming T20 World Cup. While some like Ravi Shastri have advised a break from cricket. Sunil Gavaskar has questioned how could one get back to form, after being away from the game.

Now world cup-winning captain Kapil Dev has talked about the lean patch Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are going through. Former India skipper Kapil Dev has also questioned Rohit’s lean patch, saying he should have been a part of the home assignment against South Africa. “It’s hard to know today who has been rested or asked to be rested. Only selectors will know about this,” Kapil said on UnCut.

“The player (Rohit) is brilliant, no question about that. But if you don’t score a fifty in 14 matches, questions will be raised, be it Gary Sobers, Don Bradman, Virat Kohli, Sachin Tendulkar, Sunil Gavaskar or Viv Richards. Only Rohit can answer that what’s happening. Is it too much (cricket) or has he stopped enjoying it?”

“Players like Rohit and Virat (Kohli) should enjoy the game. How they feel is very important (for their performances).” Kapil also spoke about the mindset of both players and predicted it will be ‘impossible’ for critics to remain quiet if the Indian pair continues its mediocre form. Like Rohit, Virat Kohli also witnessed a subdued IPL season where he recorded three golden ducks.

He averaged 22.73 across the tournament, his lowest since the 2010 season. Kohli’s batting slump even led to former players including Brett Lee and Ravi Shastri feel that the star cricketer should take a break to “freshen up the mind”.

“You have to score runs (to get back in form). You cannot go too far based on reputation alone. Eventually, the opportunities will get dried up. How many chances would you need after 14 games? Can’t understand why they’re rested. If dropped, where they will get a chance to play then? It’s quite difficult to see how they play now,” Kapil further said.
