Notably, Rohit Sharma has struggled with the bat since the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023, managing to score a pitiful 332 runs in 16 outings with just two fifty-plus scores at an average of 20.75. Additionally, in the final match of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2021–23 against Australia, he only scored 15 and 43 runs in each of his two innings.
But in the two Test matches against the West Indies, he made a strong recovery with the bat, scoring a century (103 runs) and scoring 80 and 57 runs in the red-ball match.
Captain Rohit Sharma will try to maintain his momentum and play vital innings in the aforementioned events, keeping in mind the crucial Asia Cup and the 2023 ODI World Cup.
The opening match of the 2023 Asia Cup would pit Team India against arch-rivals Pakistan.
India’s campaign for the Asia Cup 2023 will begin on September 2 at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium when they take on Pakistan, their bitter rivals. against September 4, the Men in Blue take against Nepal in their second game of the ACC tournament at the same location.
The roster for the Asia Cup will likely be revealed soon, as the same group is also expected to make the cut for the squad for the ODI World Cup. At the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Bengaluru on October 8, Team India will meet the five-time champions Australia in their opening ODI World Cup encounter.
