Rohit still has 2 ODIs in this series, where he can return to form. He has a very poor performance in some of the last few innings. Captain Rohit has scored just 166 runs in the last 16 innings of the three formats. During this time his average was 10.37, which is very bad.
Now let’s talk about the second deficiency, since Rohit was dismissed cheaply, it also saw its direct impact on India’s new ODI opening couple. Rohit and Yashasvi (15) could add just 19 runs in Nagpur for the first bill. In such a situation, there will be a question in Cuttack that will the Indian team make any change in the opening pair? Because till now Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma used to open in ODIs.
Gill also came at number three and gave color. At the same time, if Virat Kohli is completely fitted to play in Cuttack, then it will also be interesting to see who will be out of the team India.
Now let’s talk about the third shortage, since the Indian team has also included Rishabh Pant along with KL Rahul as a wicketkeeper in this series. KL Rahul got preference on him in ODIs. But he could score only 2 runs in Nagpur ODI as a batsman. In such a situation, his batting will need to improve the Cuttack. However, KL Rahul was fantastic as a wicketkeeper.
