Former India wicketkeeper-batsman Saba Karim feels the selectors and team management need to strictly talk about their strategies with senior players like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and KL Rahul. Saba Karim believes that there are many players who can take their place in the shortest format of the game.
Team India’s performance during the South Africa series was very good. After losing the first two matches, they made a great comeback by winning the next two matches. The last match was called-off due to rain and the series ended in a 2-2 draw.
The Indian team got two good contenders Ishan Kishan and Ruturaj Gaikwad for the opening. While Gaikwad was able to perform well in just one match, Ishan batted well throughout the series.
Meanwhile, Saba Karim has given some surprising statements about T20’s top batsman for India i.e. Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul and Virat Kohli. In fact, the form and strike rate of Rohit, Virat and Rahul have been really a matter of concern in the recent times. Because of this, many veterans are giving their feedback about them.
Saba Karim said to Sony Sports Network that it will be a difficult decision for the selectors, however, he believes that all three will be part of the playing XI and as because they are being criticized, it is up to them to find a solution so that they can come out of it in a better way.
“A tough call for the selectors. At this stage, I’m sure all three of them will walk into the XI,” the former Indian cricketer said.
He further added that if they cannot improve on that, then the team management will have to have some conversation with the players as there are some competition for them coming through.
“The team management or selectors need to have hard conversations with the individuals involved because there is stiff competition coming through,” said Karim.
