New Delhi. This is a difficult time for Rohit Sharma. They have to try to silence critics before the Champions Trophy and have only one way- a strong performance. This is to say that former veteran Ravichandran Ashwin, who has recently retired from international cricket. Rohit Sharma took himself out of the team due to poor form from the final Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia. He returned to Team India and scored just two runs in the first ODI against England.

Ravichandran Ashwin said on his YouTube channel, ‘This is not easy. If you look at it from Rohit’s perspective, it is obviously disappointing for him. They want to focus on the series. They understand that they have done well in this format and they would like it well. This former off -spinner said, ‘But people will ask questions. Those who watch cricket will obviously ask. This is a difficult time. You cannot stop these questions. How long will you stop? It will continue until he performs. Rohit has scored just 166 runs in the last 16 international innings.

Ashwin said, ‘As a cricketer, I understand what round Rohit is going through. This is not easy. I pray that they perform well and score a century in this series. India defeated England by 4 wickets in the first ODI. The second ODI will be played in Cuttack on Sunday.

Ravichandran Ashwin, meanwhile, praised Ravindra Jadeja and insisted that this all -rounder is more talented than him. After taking 3 wickets for 26 runs in his 9 overs, Jadeja first remained unbeaten after scoring 12 runs in 10 balls, chasing the target. He said, ‘When our media performs well, then it fails to appreciate him. But whenever we lose, it makes everyone a villain.
