Rohit Sharma: Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma has currently reached Sri Lanka tour (SL vs IND) to lead Team India for three ODI matches. At the same time, Rohit Sharma announced his retirement from T20 cricket after winning the T20 World Cup. In such a situation, now Rohit Sharma will be seen focusing only on ODI and Test cricket.

Indian cricket team's fast bowler Mohammad Siraj is one such player who is playing only on the recommendation of captain Rohit Sharma, whereas if we look at his performance, he is not even performing enough to play Ranji cricket for Team India. Despite this, Siraj's place is always confirmed in Team India. Be it ODI cricket or Test or T20 match, Siraj is always included in the team. Even before the Sri Lanka tour, Siraj was a part of Team India T20 World Cup on the recommendation of Rohit Sharma and even there his performance was not special. Even on the Sri Lanka tour, Siraj got a place in the team only because of Rohit Sharma.

Mohammed Siraj may be dropped from Team India

Team India's head coach Gautam Gambhir may soon drop Mohammad Siraj from the team. If Siraj does not perform well, then Lucknow Super Giants' fast bowler Mayank Yadav can be given a chance in Team India in the Indian Premier League. And if Mayank Yadav performs well, then the doors of Team India may be closed forever for Mohammad Siraj.

Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli can open the innings in ODIs too

Team India captain Rohit Sharma and former captain Virat Kohli can also open the innings in ODI cricket. Both the players of Team India can be seen opening in the three-match series against Sri Lanka. Virat Kohli usually plays at number three in ODIs and used to bat at number three in T20Is before the T20 World Cup. However, in the T20 World Cup, captain Rohit made him open the innings. In such a situation, before the ICC Champions Trophy, Rohit Sharma and Kohli can try the opening pair of both in ODIs as well.
