Rohit Sharma's class vs form
"You have to back your best players and the reason why Rohit started getting more chances because Pujara was going through a phase where he wasnt getting too many runs,"Virat Kohli.
Rohit Sharma who holds the record of scoring 264 runs in a single innings in an ODI against Srilanka is the known to perform well at home than at overseas.Indubitably he is a class player and has his own good style of driving the ball to boundary.But these days this young talent is consistently failing to prove himself at overseas mainly in test format.After scoring two tons in his first two tests against West Indies at home,he is not seen scoring such big individuals totals in international test matches and after that he has managed only two half centuries against New Zealand and Australia.This figures on board clearly state that he struggling a lot with bat and has to work upon it to sustain in the test team.
His test average is 35.84 and seeing his score in few past matches some feel that a chance is to be given to Chetheswar Pujara to bat at position 3.But things seem to be happening in the other way.Rohit Sharma is in safe on shore whereas Pujara is in turbulent water inspite of better stats in average and strike rate than Rohit Sharma for Pujara scoring less figures in last 11 matches he played in XI.Team director and Indian test skipper Virat Kohli back Rohit Sharma and their decision of denying Pujara in the XI.Ravi Shastri says that Pujara inspite of having an average of 47.11 has not fetched some good number of runs for the team from last 11 matches and has not scored atleast one ton and adds that they felt that he has been given enough chances to play in XI and now the time has come to give Rohit Sharma who is capable of playing some big shots a chance to help him show his tight techniques.
