Question on Rohit Sharma’s poor form, Shubman Gill gave a blunt answer in the press conference.

India had to face 2-1 defeat in the three-match ODI series against New Zealand. In the third and decisive match played in Indore, Team India lost by 41 runs. After this defeat, questions are being raised once again regarding the poor performance of Rohit Sharma. On this, Indian captain Shubman Gill has given a direct and clear answer in the press conference.

Shubman Gill’s statement regarding Rohit’s form

In the press conference after the match, Shubman Gill said that Rohit Sharma is in great form and it is not right to judge him on the basis of one series. According to Gill, Rohit made a good start in this series too, but he could not convert it into a big score. Gill said, “Rohit has been in good form since the Australia and South Africa series. It is not possible to convert a start into a century every time, but a batsman always tries to do the same.”

Rohit Sharma’s performance in New Zealand series

Rohit Sharma’s bat remained calm in this ODI series. He scored a total of 61 runs in three innings and his average was 20.33. He could not score even a single half-century. In the third ODI, Rohit was out after scoring 11 runs in 13 balls, due to which Team India had a weak start.

New Zealand’s strong batting

In the decisive match, New Zealand, batting first, made a big score of 337/8 in 50 overs. Darryl Mitchell scored 137 runs, scoring his second consecutive century. At the same time, Glenn Phillips played a stormy inning of 106 runs. In the end, captain Michael Bracewell put the team in a strong position by scoring unbeaten 28 runs. For India, Arshdeep Singh and Harshit Rana took three wickets each.

Even Virat Kohli’s century could not bring victory

While chasing the target of 338 runs, the Indian team had a very bad start. However, Virat Kohli fought single-handedly and played a brilliant inning of 124 runs. Harshit Rana supported him and scored his first ODI half-century and there was a partnership of 99 runs between the two. Despite this, the rest of the batsmen could not survive and India was reduced to 296 runs.
