New Delhi: India’s spin bowling coach ahead of the second ODI against Afghanistan in Lucknow Sairaj Bahutole. Supported by Rohit Sharma Amid renewed debate over the veteran opener’s future. The 39-year-old has suffered a dip in form recently and fears have resurfaced due to his age, a recent hamstring injury and being modest. IPL After being run out in the first ODI against Afghanistan, Rohit could only score 16 runs.Despite the scrutiny, Bahutole emphasized that Rohit’s experience and leadership are important to the team, especially Shabman Gul Now leading the ODI team.“I think Rohit is definitely an experienced player. He’s a champion cricketer. I think he’s someone who brings value to this team with his experience, not just batting-wise, but his leadership qualities rub off on all the guys, along with Shubman. So I think it’s definitely very important to have him around, and he’s someone who understands and understands the game and expects it from every team.” Reporters “I think he’s just looking forward to every match and everything he’s doing is like he’s just started playing.”
Appreciate for KL Rahul
Bahotole also praised KL Rahul, who is in excellent form across all formats. After scoring a century in the only Test against Afghanistan, Rahul scored an unbeaten 39 off 19 balls in the rain-affected first ODI.“I think he’s a fantastic player,” he said. I think he is someone who adapts to situations and formats very quickly as he has proved in these two matches.“I just feel that whatever number you send him, he is someone who will perform for you, understand the situation, what is required of him at that particular moment, adapts and delivers. So I think wherever he decides to bat or wherever he is given an opportunity, he will be an important member of the team.”
