Sourav Ganguly Bats For Rohit Sharma In India Test Squad For Australia Series

Written by Rohit Pawar

Rohit Sharma has not been a regular in the Test set-up for the Indian cricket team since his debut against the Windies in 2013. In the last series which Rohit Sharma featured for India, he notched up the scores of 47, 10, 10, 11 against South Africa in overseas condition.

However, former India skipper Sourav Ganguly highlighted the fact that Rohit has matured over the years as a cricketer and the selectors should give him a slot in the Test squad against Australia.

“This is the time for the selectors to take Rohit along on the Australian tour for the Test series. He has matured a lot in last two years,” Sourav Ganguly told India TV.

“He has gained confidence in his game with time. In captaincy too, he has proved his mettle,” Ganguly said.

Rohit averages 39.97 in the longest format of the game. He has scored 1,479 runs with the highest score of 177 in the longer format.
