A two-match Test series between India and Sri Lanka will begin Friday in Mohali. For the Tests, Rahane and Pujara have been dropped, and it will be intriguing to watch who replaces them.
Rohit Sharma, India’s captain, stated Thursday that it will be difficult to replace Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane. The two-match Test series between India and Sri Lanka will begin on Friday in Mohali. For the Tests, Rahane and Pujara have been dropped, and it will be intriguing to watch who replaces them.
“Rahane and Pujara are huge shoes to fill, and even I don’t know who is going to fill them. Even I don’t know who will replace them. It’s impossible to express in words the impact that Pujara and Rahane have had on this team over the past decade and a half of hard work and 80-90 Tests. These players were important in India’s rise to the top of the Test rankings, and they’ve played a significant role in that success “in response to a question from the news agency, Rohit, in the course of a virtual press conference.
“It’s impossible for us to overlook these men in the future; they will be a part of our plans. As the selector also stated, we did not take them into consideration at this time. There is no mention of their not being considered for the series in the future “she said.
If KL Rahul is not available, Rohit stated that his favorite opening partner would be Ravichandran Ashwin “Everyone should be part of the team since I’m the captain. Once we’ve seen and analyzed the situation, we’ll make a decision. There is no doubt that Mayank, Shubman, Shreyas, and Vihari represent the future of Indian cricket.”
“For them to succeed in this format, I believe they require a strong start, which I believe we can provide. If the management shows enough support and backing, I hope that these guys, not just from me but also from you, will be able to help as well “he continued.
