Rohit Sharma Explains the Selection of Four Spinners
Rohit said, “Spinners make the team deep not only in bowling but also in batting. Unfortunately, we don’t have too many fast bowling all-rounders, but you want to make your batting as deep as you can, as well as have high-quality bowling.
” Rohit further said, “These players are not only spin bowling all-rounders, but they can also bat and bowl. I am very satisfied that they have played their role brilliantly for some time now. When these players get a place in the team, it makes the team a deep and strong team.
We have bowlers like off-spinner (Washington Sundar), left-arm spinners (Axar Patel and Jadeja) and Kuldeep Yadav in our team.” Rohit also said that all these spinners have been selected to meet the needs of the team and they can cover all the bases.
