lucky now. Every young cricketer dreams of joining the Indian team and his path passes the Ranji Trophy somewhere. Indian captain Rohit Sharma is also of the same opinion and his advice to young cricketers is that batsmen playing in the Ranji Trophy should keep scoring runs and not worry about selection as opportunities will come when they come. the moment.
India’s U-19 World Cup-winning team captain Yash Dhul and Mumbai’s Sarfaraz Khan are among the batsmen who have scored centuries in the first round of the current Ranji Trophy season. Rohit said on the eve of the first T20 International against Sri Lanka here: “All I can tell you is keep scoring runs and get chances like it happened with Hanuma Vihari and Shreyas Iyer, Shubman Gill and others. Who is now a member of Team proof.
“There are a lot of guys, I know, you have to keep scoring runs, you have to be patient and keep going, that’s all I can tell you at the moment and that’s what I hope they do,” he said. Rohit said that the selection in the playing XI depends on many factors. He said his team will look to do well in the two Tests against Sri Lanka, to be played in Mohali and Bengaluru next month. “A lot of things depend on what kind of combination we have in our team at the moment and what kind of field we are playing on, who is the opponent and things like that,” said the Indian captain.
“The selection depends a lot on these things. But as I have clearly stated, there are only three test matches to play. We have announced the squad for two test matches and there is one more test match to play in England. We’ll think about England later.” Rohit said that he is happy that the players have the opportunity to play in the Ranji Trophy. “All the players who had the opportunity to play in the Ranji Trophy, I am happy that they at least had the opportunity to play in the Ranji Trophy, which is very important from their point of view. Hopefully, we will also see many performances in the next two games.” Wicket-keeper batsman Sanju Samson has been included in the squad and it remains to be seen if the team management gives him a chance in game XI. While praising Samson, Rohit said this right-handed hitter is very talented.
He said: “Speaking of Samson, I think you know he has talent. Every time we saw him bat in IPL and other tournaments, he played innings where everyone was fascinated by his innings. A lot of people have skills, talents, but the most important is how he uses them and I think it’s up to Sanju to understand how he wants to use his talent and how he can make the most of it.”
He said: “Because as a team, as a team management, we see a lot of potential in him, we see a lot of talent and we see the ability to win games.” Rohit also praised Samson for his ability to play a variety of shots. He especially appreciates the shot from behind. Rohit also said that pacemaker Mohammad Siraj will be available for selection from him.
