Mohammed Shami Rohit Sharma Controversy: One of the players who came under the target of media and former cricketers after Team India’s defeat in the recent Adelaide Test is young Harshit Rana, who did not take a single wicket in the second Test. Siraj also did not get the success that the fans were expecting. Australia won the match by ten wickets, while Indian bowlers could take only ten wickets in the match. This is the reason why experienced fast bowler Mohammed Shami is demanding to be sent to Australia soon.
However, a report has claimed that all is not well between captain Rohit and Shami regarding the fitness of the veteran bowler. Both the players are coming out with contradictory statements. A similar news had also come to light in the series played against New Zealand. Even then the Indian captain was questioned about Shami’s availability in the Border Gavaskar series.
Now that Shami has claimed that he has completely recovered from his injury, Rohit has suggested that Shami is not completely fit for a big series like Australia. According to the report, after this statement of Rohit, there was a heated argument between the two players. When Shami was in NCA, he met Rohit during the first Test played in Bengaluru. During this meeting, there was a heated debate between the two players regarding Rohit’s statement in the media. Rohit had given this statement on the question of Shami’s availability during the New Zealand series. After the end of the Adelaide Test, Rohit said, ‘Although the doors are open for Shami’s return to the team, he does not want the veteran fast bowler to return in a hurry. Rohit also said that Shami also got injured during the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.
