New Delhi, The Indian team has prepared for the T20 World Cup. On April 30, the BCCI announced a 15-member squad for the T20 World Cup. For which many veterans were seen giving their opinions. Now Team India Captain Rohit Sharma and Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar have answered all the questions.
On KL Rahul's question, Ajit Agarkar said, “KL Rahul is a great player. The other wicketkeepers are playing in the middle order and Rahul is in the top order. This is just a step taken to balance the team.” Sanju Samson and Rishabh Pant are the best options as wicketkeepers in the middle order. About the captaincy, Rohit Sharma said, “It is a good experience to captain India.
I have played under many captains in my career. This is something new. As a player you have to play for your team.” Apart from this, selector Ajit Agarkar responded on the constant change of captains. He said, 'Rohit is our best captain. It has been six months since the ODI World Cup. Hardik has also performed well in between. Rohit is a great captain and he has done well in the ODI World Cup.
On picking the team, Ajit Agarkar said, “It's always a challenge, but I had already spoken to Rohit.” We were already clear about what we had to do. The performance in the IPL helped a lot in this.” Rohit Sharma said on the impact of performance in IPL, 'Any ICC tournament that has taken place in recent times has taken place only after IPL. The final of the Test Championship was also held after the IPL.
For this reason we make preparations in advance. We are already playing 11 in our minds. We select the perfect player for the perfect role. Many players have not played in this format for a long time, but they are very experienced. Sometimes someone scores a century and sometimes someone takes 5 wickets. We had already selected 70 percent of the team.
On the question of keeping Rinku Singh out, Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar said, “It was the most difficult thing to keep Rinku Singh out. It was the same with Shubman Gill. We looked at the team combination first and then took the tough decisions.
He also broke his silence on Virat Kohli's strike rate. Agarkar said, there is no question on Kohli's strike rate. He is doing great in IPL. We have never discussed Kohli's strike rate, the pressure is different when you are in the World Cup.
