After Rishabh Pant scored a stunning century in the recently concluded Test match against England, Rohit replaced Ishan Kishan in the three-match T20I series that started after that. However Rishabh Pant did not perform well.
Also in ODI series:
In this case, in the second match of the ODI series, Rishabh Pant was suddenly brought in as a replacement for Suryakumar at number 4. Suryakumar, who changed the place and entered the field, added only 27 runs in 29 balls. Many people are commenting that he was in good form after scoring a century in the T20 series and was fielded because he was replaced.
It is said that if he had been fielded in his place, i.e. in the usual fourth position, he would have performed better and searched for victory.
Interview with RB Singh:
In this case, RB Singh, who has given an interview to a newspaper, has also expressed the same opinion. “Similarly when Kohli was the captain earlier, he changed the batting line-up frequently to suit the time. Now Rohit Sharma has started making the same mistake. “It was wrong for Rishabh to field the ball as an opener in the T20 series,” he said.
He also said, “Because Rishabh Pant is used to playing in death overs. Then the condition of the ball and the situation will be well known. If you drop him suddenly as an opener, you don’t know what the nature of the ball will be. It also takes a long time to get used to the situation. It is also better to field in-form batsmen like Suryakumar in their place.
“Even if a place is fielded back and forth, the situation will definitely change. This is a problem for batters. From the outside it looks like there is no problem. Therefore, the batting order should not be changed further. “If they don’t change positions in the third match, people like Suryakumar will play aggressively and be the reason for the victory,” he said.
