Meanwhile, now former England spinner Monty Panesar has made a big statement about Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli playing in the T20 World to be held in 2024.
Monty Panesar said that “If I can be honest, India didn’t even fight in the semi-final match. It was a completely one sided match. The Indian bowlers appeared helpless in front of Butler and Hales. You are playing the semi-finals, you should have tried to give a tough fight. 168 is not a low score.

He further says, ‘Rohit Sharma, Dinesh Karthik and R Ashwin are three such names who should say goodbye to T20 cricket soon. The team management will also definitely hold a meeting with these players and ask what is your next plan? Now the time has come for these players to give a chance to the young players to come forward.”
Monty Panesar said during a conversation with ESPN Cricinfo that “Virat is a great person and is the fittest among Indian players. Age is just a number for Virat, you will definitely see him in the T20 World Cup in 2024 but I am not seeing Rohit in the 2024 World Cup, along with Karthik and Ashwin, there are many other players but I think these three of course. These players should leave T20 and focus on ODIs and Tests.
Let us tell you that in the T20 World Cup, India’s captain Rohit Sharma’s bat remained completely calm. He was a complete flop in this tournament. Apart from him, KL Rahul was also a complete flop. Indian bowling was also not as expected. However, Virat Kohli looked in fine form and put up a great performance. Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya also showed their strength with him.
