Rohit Sharma, the captain of Team India, is back in India with his family after a vacation in the UK. He led the Indian team in the 2023 World Cup last month, where they unfortunately lost to Australia in the final. Despite their dominating performance throughout the tournament, winning 10 consecutive games, the defeat in the final was tough for both players and fans. After the tournament, Rohit took a short break from cricket and went on vacation with his wife Ritika Sajdeh and daughter Samiara. Recently, he was seen at Mumbai airport returning from the trip, holding his daughter and accompanied by his wife.

Merit Matters: Sanjay Manjrekar’s Take on Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli’s Prospects in the 2024 T20 World Cup:

Former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar shared his thoughts on whether Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma should be selected for the 2024 T20 World Cup. According to him, the senior players need to demonstrate their superiority over younger talents in the format to secure a spot in the upcoming tournament. Manjrekar expressed these views during a discussion on the Star Sports show Game Plan.

“Virat Kohli will have to show that he is a better option than the youngsters who are playing currently, and Rohit Sharma as T20 batter and captain vs Hardik Pandya, the T20 batter, all-rounder and captain. This should be the competition and you should only go with merit there because we have seen what we have got with great players, stature and experience.”Manjrekar said.

He continued:

“Who knows what’s in store in life? I don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow. I believe the approach should be extremely simple. We have played a lot of World Cups and haven’t been able to win them. We are maybe playing slightly different cricket in the final stages of World Cups. When something goes out of your hand, simplify it. Pick your team based on form close to the World Cup.”
