However, the absence of star opener and Team India skipper Rohit Sharma raised eyebrows, sparking a wave of discontent among his ardent fans. Many took to social media platforms to express their disappointment and even lashed out at CA for not including the dynamic batter in the playing XI.
Rohit Sharma’s performance in the ODI World Cup 2023
Rohit’s exclusion comes as a surprise, given his stellar performances in the ongoing ODI World Cup. The prolific opener has amassed an impressive 503 runs in 9 innings, making him the fourth leading run-scorer in the tournament’s league stage. Rohit’s outstanding average of 55.88, including a century and three half-centuries, underlines his crucial role in India’s batting lineup.
While the selected squad boasts formidable players, the omission of Rohit has ignited passionate discussions among cricket enthusiasts. As the World Cup progresses, all eyes will be on the performance of the chosen players and the team dynamics on the field.
Here are the reactions of Indian fans:
Cricket Australia knows how to create a divide between Kohli and Rohit fans before the knockout games! Good old Aussie mind games
