Rohit Sharma's Comeback To Form Is Of Vital Importance To Team India: Irfan Pathan

By IANS News January 09, 2023 • 14:21 PM View: 807

Former India left-arm pacer Irfan Pathan believes captain Rohit Sharma gaining form in the 50-over format will be of high importance to the side ahead of their series against Sri Lanka, starting from Tuesday in Guwahati.

Rohit had picked a left thumb injury while fielding in the second ODI against Bangladesh in December 2022. Now with him back in the team from the ODIs against Sri Lanka, it remains to be seen how he shapes up and gets his rhythm back in a year where the ODI World Cup will take place in India in October-November.
