‘Bhajji wrote on Twitter: “Rohit Sharma is not in the Indian Test team against the West Indies! What are the selectors thinking? Does anyone know of this? Please also tell me, because I cannot digest this thing. ‘
Prior, Rohit had asked to open in the Test, “When I started playing or when I was playing from India, I had never thought that I would start the innings in one-day internationals. I have kept my options open. I have not stopped any option so if I get the chance, then I am ready for that.
Regardless of the technique of Rohit beyond the subcontinent, the questions have been raised. However, being an opener, he was batting at number 6 in the Test, which is not a batting position according to his style.
