Well, at this time the eyes of the whole country are on the Paris Olympics, where Indian athletes are trying their best to win medals. Indian players have also got some success. In the midst of this, cricket action is also going on, where the Indian team is currently playing an ODI series in Sri Lanka. Like the Paris Olympics, the Indian team has not been successful in this series in Sri Lanka and now it is facing the threat of losing the series. The Indian team, which is trailing 0-1 in this three-match series, will play the last match of the series on Thursday, but even before that the tension of the team has increased because there is a possibility of captain Rohit Sharma sitting out of this match.

The Indian team suffered a big blow in the very first match of the series when the match that was in its hands was tied. Then the next match was no less than a shock. This time Team India had to face defeat by 32 runs, which was its first defeat against Sri Lanka in 3 years. Now it is the last match of the series and if Team India loses here, then for the first time in 27 years it will lose an ODI series to Sri Lanka. Now Indian fans will hope that this does not happen but hopes seem to be shattered.

Will Rohit Sharma be able to play?

While almost all the batsmen of Team India have failed in both the matches of this series, only captain Rohit Sharma has been seen performing well. Rohit has scored quick half-centuries in both the matches. In such a situation, the team will need him a lot in the third match as well, but at the moment this has become the cause of trouble. Actually, during batting in the second ODI, Rohit had a problem in his thigh, for which he also took medical treatment for some time. Since then, Rohit's fitness is under question.

Questions have also started arising on this because on Tuesday, August 6, Rohit did not practice batting in Team India's practice session and he was seen practicing batting only without a bat.

If not Rohit then who will get the place?

Not only this, during this time Rohit was also talking to Shubman Gill for a long time. Now, Rohit must have given some tips regarding Shubman Gill's batting, but remember that Gill is also the vice-captain of the team for this series.

In such a situation, it is being speculated that perhaps Rohit may be out of this last match and that is why he was talking to Shubman Gill about the team's strategy. Now the question is that if Rohit Sharma is out of this match, then who will replace him? In such a situation, Rishabh Pant can enter the team, whom the team can send in the middle order and make KL Rahul open.
