Rohit Sharma speaks up on not playing Rajat Patidar in Indore
Rohit Sharma logically replied to the journalist who asked about Patidar’s possible debut at home ground. Hitman gave a very reasonable reply by saying that there is no room in the current Indian team. He also added, “Virat plays at 3, at 4 Ishan Kishan, at 5 Suryakumar Yadav, and at 6 Hardik Pandya”.
He also referred to the last series where Ishan didn’t get a chance to play even after scoring a double ton. Rohit also added by saying “Everyone in the world knows what Surya is doing these days so removing him is a crime”.

The Captain in the end gave a witty reply to the same journalist. He said, “Yes, it’s understandable that we should have played Rajat at his home ground but if we do so, In Ranchi Ishan will also say play me in my home ground”.
The captain wanted the journalist to understand that India wants to play everyone but there’s no room in the current Indian team.
India seal the series 3-0 against New Zealand
Team India ran riots against the kiwis in the three-match ODI series. Lately, the New Zealand team has defeated Pakistan on their own soil. The clean sweep for India became even sweeter as New Zealand just came after defeating Pakistan 2-1 in Pakistan.
