New Delhi: Former India batsman Ajay Jadeja on Thursday took a dig at Team India captain Rohit Sharma for taking frequent breaks after losing to England by 10 wickets in the semi-final of the T20 World Cup. Ajay Jadeja has asked that a captain should be with the team all year to make his team and how many tours did Rohit go on? Along with this, Jadeja has also said that age is also one of the reasons for Team India's defeat.
Talking to the media, Jadeja said, 'There should be one elderly person in the house, if there are 7 elderly people, then there will be a problem. I will say one thing if Rohit Sharma listens. If a captain has to make a team, then he has to be with the team throughout the year. How many tours did Rohit Sharma have been with the team throughout the year? I'm not saying this today, I've said it before. You have to build a team and you don't live together. The coach is also not going to New Zealand. Team India has to play a three-match T20 and three-match ODI series on the tour of New Zealand after the T20 World Cup. Senior players, including captain Rohit and Virat Kohli, have been rested. Along with this, coach Rahul Dravid will also not go on tour. During this time VVS Laxman will be the coach of Team India.
In the second semi-final match of the T20 World Cup 2022, England achieved the target of 169 runs with 4 overs remaining. Openers Alex Hales (86 not out) and Jos Buttler (80 not out) blew away the Indian bowlers and scored 170 runs off just 96 balls. This was England's highest-opening partnership in T20 cricket. This was also the biggest opening partnership in the T20 World Cup. England will now face Pakistan in the final on Sunday.
