Rohit Sharma: Competition in the Indian cricket team has increased a lot and if a player is unable to perform well, then another player is ready to take his place.
However, now a player has emerged in domestic cricket who has given up bowling and started batting. Similarly, Indian team captain Rohit Sharma also used to bowl earlier and now plays as an opening batsman.
Actually, India's domestic tournament Duleep Trophy 2024 has recently ended and during this tournament a surprising incident came to light. During a match, the bowler was sent as an opening batsman.
Let us tell you that the surprising decision was taken by India 'C' captain Ruturaj Gaikwad, when he chose fast bowler Vijaykumar Vyshak as his partner for opening. Vishak started the innings and scored 17 runs off 49 balls and was run out.
If we talk about this match, India 'A' batted first and scored 297 runs. In response, India 'C' was all out at 234 runs. Apart from this, India 'A' declared the innings after scoring 286 runs at the loss of 6 wickets in their second innings.
In the fourth innings, India 'C' was all out for 217 runs and thus lost the match by 132 runs. With this win, India 'A' finished at the top of the points table and won the Duleep Trophy 2024.
