Rohit Sharma Retirement: Kapil Dev’s frank statement on Rohit Sharma’s retirement, Hitman will not like it!

New Delhi: The debate regarding the retirement of Team India’s veteran opener batsman Rohit Sharma is now becoming bigger. According to media reports, Rohit Sharma will play his last ODI match against England at Lord’s, but the story of team management is completely different. Meanwhile, former captain Kapil Dev has said that the place of veteran players like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma in the Indian team can never be ‘sure’, but as long as these experienced batsmen continue to perform well, they should get a chance to play.

Rohit (39 years) and Kohli (37 years) are in the final stages of their illustrious careers. However, after Rohit’s poor performance in the first two matches of the ongoing three-match ODI series against England, questions are being raised about his future. Kapil Dev said, “Nobody’s place in cricket is ever permanent. Only the one who performs well consistently plays. It doesn’t matter who he is. I believe that keep an eye on the performance and as long as the player is playing well, let him play.

Have faith in management and selectors – Kapil Dev

He said that the right to decide on the future of such senior players rests with the selectors and the team management. Kapil said, “When Sachin Tendulkar retired, there was a lot of cricket left in him. This decision is the job of the selectors. I will not say who should be thrown out. This is the responsibility of the selectors and team management. I can give my opinion only after watching the match on TV.

He said, “Have faith in the team management and selectors that they will choose the best team for India. Even if the team loses, we should still stand with them.” He said, “Rohit is no longer 20 years old. He is almost 40 years old and every player has to retire one day. But salute to him for the happiness he has given not only to India but to cricket lovers all over the world.
