Bilateral cricket between India and Pakistan has been put on hold since Misbah-ul-Haq’s team last toured India to play a three-match ODI series way back in 2012-13.
All eyes will be on the legendary MS Dhoni in what could be his final game at the iconic Wankhede Stadium, where many moons back, he hit the winning six for India to clinch the 2011 ODI World Cup trophy.
Following the family emergency, Ashwin made a roaring comeback and capped off the Test series with a historic feat by registering the most number of five-wicket hauls for India in the history of Test cricket.
The biggest positives from the series could be the emergence of young guns like Yashasvi Jaiswal, scoring in excess of 700 runs, Sarfaraz Khan bludgeoning his way to the side with half centuries, and Dhruv Jurel – the young Uttar Pradesh stumper, who was picked with an experience of just 15 first-class matches.
Widely regarded as one of the greatest batsmen ever to play the game, Tendulkar holds the record for being the highest run-getter in international cricket.
Rohit also said the Indian team is working on giving players a longer rope and backing them to express themselves over a period of time.
Harbhajan Singh also said it is good to see Shreyas Iyer doing well at No. 4 and the team management has done well by giving him a long rope.
Rohit had been sensational at the 2019 World Cup, he equalled Sachin Tendulkar’s record for most centuries in World Cup matches and became the first-ever to score five centuries in a single edition of the tournament. He was the highest scorer with 648 runs.
Rohit Sharma also spoke about his experience of opening in Test cricket and said that he had been ready for the job since the 2018 Australia tour.
