India already have an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-game T20I series against Afghanistan, making Wednesday\u2019s clash at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium a dead rubber. Rohit is yet to open his account in the series after bagging two successive ducks.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI don\u2019t see this series as a selection series for the World Cup. I don\u2019t think any player performing or not will impact their chances of World Cup selection, specially when you are talking about Rohit Sharma or Virat Kohli.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cOnce you have picked them for the series, it means they are going for the World Cup. For Rohit Sharma personally, he would like to score runs. He likes to set the tone and if he gets in, he would like to make it a big one,\u201d said Parthiv on JioCinema.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
He also feels fast-bowler Mukesh Kumar has shown considerable improvement as a death overs bowler for India in the shortest format. \u201cI think he can definitely bowl in the powerplay, he has got the skill. He has played a lot of first-class cricket and knows which length to bowl, he is not a swing bowler.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cHe is someone who hits the seam and hits that back-of-length kind of deliveries. However, he has improved a lot as a death bowler. India can look at batting first in the 3rd T20I and put the opposition under pressure. One odd game here and there, you can\u2019t question someone\u2019s abilities but Mukesh Kumar has definitely improved as a death bowler.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Parthiv also reckons India might play on a slow wicket in the third T20I to boost their preparation for the T20 World Cup. \u201cWe can also look at preparing a slower wicket. The upcoming T20 World Cup will be held in the USA and West Indies where slower wickets are expected.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cThe players can be tested for similar conditions. We all know that Chinnaswamy is a flat batting wicket, but that wicket can also turn and India can look at doing that. That\u2019s how you can test your players and build the squad for the World Cup.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Former India wicketkeeper-batter Saba Karim is keen to see how the hosts\u2019 fare while defending a total. \u201cI hope they do that in Bengaluru. Not only to put the bowlers under scanner but also to check the depth of your batting.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"Players like Axar Patel and Washington Sundar, who come down the order, may get a look in. Then you can understand if you want to play three seamers or spinners in the playing XI, once Hardik Pandya comes in.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2024\/01\/i-dont-think-players-performance-will-impact-their-chances-of-t20-wc-selection-says-parthiv-on-rohits-form.jpg", "alt_img": "I don't think players performance will impact their chances of T20 WC selection, says Parthiv on Roh", "alt_title": "At 17, you cannot really think of being nervous: Parthiv Patel recalls memorable instances from his ", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "I Don't Think Players Performance Will Impact Their Chances Of T20 WC Selection, Says Parthiv On Rohit\u2019s Form On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "I Don't Think Players Performance Will Impact Their Chances Of T20 WC Selection, Says Parthiv On Rohit\u2019s Form, T20 World Cup: Former India wicketkeeper-batter Parthiv Patel believes that the recent run of form of captain Rohit Sharma will.", "seo_keywords": "World Cup, Former India, Parthiv Patel, Rohit Sharma, ICC Men, T20 World Cup, Chinnaswamy Stadium, Virat Kohli, For Rohit Sharma, Mukesh Kumar, West Indies, Saba Karim, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Hardik Pandya", "tag": "", "tagging": "World Cup, Former India, Parthiv Patel, Rohit Sharma, ICC Men, T20 World Cup, Chinnaswamy Stadium, Virat Kohli, For Rohit Sharma, Mukesh Kumar, West Indies, Saba Karim, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Hardik Pandya", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "i-dont-think-players-performance-will-impact-their-chances-of-t20-wc-selection-says-parthiv-on-rohits-form", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "829", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "1", "created": "2024-01-17 16:18:06", "updated": "2024-01-17 16:18:06", "img_from": "Image Source: IANS", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "World Cup, Former India, Parthiv Patel, Rohit Sharma, ICC Men, T20 World Cup, Chinnaswamy Stadium, Virat Kohli, For Rohit Sharma, Mukesh Kumar, West Indies, Saba Karim, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Hardik Pandya", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "1", "google_feed": "1", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "23", "jio_date": "2024-01-17 16:18:06", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "1", "breaking_news": "1", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "pred_match_id": null, "article_content_type": null, "england_cricket": "0", "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/i-dont-think-players-performance-will-impact-their-chances-of-t20-wc-selection-says-parthiv-on-rohits-form-136242" }
