Former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar has criticized the BCCI’s decision to rest Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma from domestic cricket. He believes that the duo’s absence from the Duleep Trophy has negatively impacted their form and contributed to India’s recent poor performance in the Test series against New Zealand.
“The big learning for the selectors from this home season is that do not rest the already well-rested players because of their stature. I say this again, both Rohit & Virat would only have benefited from playing the Duleep Trophy start of the season,” Manjrekar tweeted.
He further added, “The Indian team’s recent performance against New Zealand has exposed their weaknesses against spin bowling. It’s clear that the team needs to work on their technical skills and mental approach.”
The recent Test series loss to New Zealand has raised serious concerns about India’s Test team. The team’s inability to adapt to different pitch conditions and their lack of consistency have been major issues.
As India gears up for the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia, they will need to address these issues and come up with a winning strategy to regain their dominance in Test cricket.
