The players of the Indian cricket team are either on rest these days or playing some domestic cricket. Team India’s upcoming series is a Test series against Bangladesh which will start from September 19. Meanwhile, as per the instructions of BCCI, the players of the Indian team are focusing on domestic cricket in this off-season as well. Where big players like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Jaspreet Bumrah have been given rest. Now, on giving rest to these three veterans, former Team India batsman Sanjay Manjrekar has shared his reaction on social media and raised questions on BCCI.
Sanjay Manjrekar asked questions
Sanjay Manjrekar, on giving Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah relief from domestic cricket, said that India has played 249 international matches in the last 5 years. Rohit has played only 59% of them. Virat has played 61% and Bumrah has played 34% matches. I see them as rested Indian players. They could have been selected for the Duleep Trophy. He wrote this on the social media platform X. Various reactions of fans are coming to this post of his. Some fans believe that these players have also played IPL matches in these five years. At the same time, it is very important for these three to remain fit for Team India. Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma announced their retirement from T20 International after the World Cup 2024. Otherwise, before this, both these players along with Jasprit Bumrah were playing in all three formats for Team India. At the same time, Bumrah has returned to Team India after a long injury break. In such a situation, all three also needed a long rest.
Virat-Rohit played the most matches
Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have also played the role of captain for Team India in the last five years. Playing any match or tournament as a captain puts a different kind of pressure on the players. Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are in the top 5 in the list of players who have played the most international matches in the last five years. Virat Kohli has played 146 and Rohit Sharma has played 142 international matches. There is no other Indian in this list. Let’s take a look at this list.
List of players who have played the most international matches since 2019
- Babar Azam – 170 matches
- Mohammad Rizwan – 161 matches
- Liton Das – 156 matches
- Virat Kohli – 146 matches
- Rohit Sharma – 142 matches
In such a situation, Sanjay Manjrekar’s statement that these three should be given rest is wrong. Before this, he should also keep in mind how important these three players are for Team India. These three have helped India win many important matches in the last five years.
