As per reports, India could rest Rohit Sharma for the upcoming ODI series against England. Here, we take a look at the list of three players who could replace Rohit Sharma for the England ODI series if he is rested.
It will actually be a risky call if Rohit Sharma is rested. This is mainly because India does not have an ODI series to prepare before the ICC 2025 Champions Trophy.
1) Yashasvi Jaiswal
Surprisingly, Yashasvi Jaiswal is yet to make his ODI debut. He is a confirmed opener in the other two formats and hence, it is just a matter of time before he gets a chance in the ODI side. His game could suit the ODI format very well and hence, this is another reason why he will make his debut soon.
2) Ruturaj Gaikwad could replace Rohit Sharma for England ODI series
Ruturaj Gaikwad is one of the players who could replace Rohit Sharma for the England ODI series if he is rested. We could tell that the ODI format is the strongest suit for Ruturaj Gaikwad. He also has List A statistics to back his case. If Yashasvi Jaiswal needs to be rested, Ruturaj could get a chance.
3) B Sai Sudharsan
Gautam Gambhir is a big fan of the left-right combination. Hence, he could have a plan in mind for the future of the ODI setup. Therefore, Shubman Gill and B Sai Sudharsan combination is something that could be apt for the setup. Sai has already made his India debut and has looked ready for this level.
