After Ravi Shastri And Sunil Gavaskar, Now Ricky Ponting Mentions Rohit Sharma’s Alarming Absence From The India Top Order

IND and OFF: India is busy playing the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, which will give them a chance to qualify for their third consecutive WTC final. With India having constant problems with the bat, there have been a lot of doubts about skipper Rohit Sharma’s batting position.

The skipper relegated himself to No. 1 on his return as he missed the opening test against Australia in Perth and KL Rahul opened the innings. 6. However, in the second test, neither Sharma could drop down the order nor Rahul could maintain his stunning form.

After Rohit repeatedly failed to perform at no. Many players who finished 6th in the Adelaide Test Ravi Shastri and the great Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar had his back when he lined up, saying he was the best at what he did.

Immediately after the match, Sunil Gavaskar tweeted allowing Rohit Sharma to open the innings in the Brisbane test. Later, Ravi Shastri claimed that Rohit was the best at delivering the first punch with early edge at the start of an innings.

Ricky Ponting said: “I felt that if Rohit was to come into the side again, he had to go straight to the top and open the batting. That’s how I felt about it too; I know KL and Jaiswal have a 200-year partnership in Perth and they played well, but Rohit is your captain. He is one of your most experienced players. “.

Now even the likes of former Australian skipper Ricky Ponting are behind Indian skipper Rohit Sharma and say his comeback always implies that he will be back at the top, how good Rahul or Jaiswal will be at the top.

While there are many experienced heads who want to see Rohit Sharma at the top of the Indian order, he should feature in the India XI alongside Yashasvi Jaiswal as the opener for the Gabba test.
