Shubman Gill Backs Rohit Sharma Amid Questions Over Opener’s ‘Hunger’ After NZ Series
India captain Shubman Gill has come out in support of Rohit Sharma, defending the senior opener after criticism over his form and “hunger” following a disappointing series against New Zealand.
India captain Shubman Gill has strongly defended Rohit Sharma after the veteran opener faced criticism for his lack of runs and questions over his “hunger” during India’s underwhelming series against New Zealand. The scrutiny intensified as Rohit struggled for consistency, raising debate about his form and role at the top of the order.
Gill dismissed suggestions that motivation or intent was an issue, stressing Rohit’s experience, leadership, and continued importance to the team. He pointed out that even elite players go through lean patches and emphasized that Rohit’s contributions extend beyond personal scores, particularly in guiding younger players and setting the tone in the dressing room.
The Indian captain urged patience, noting that Rohit’s track record speaks for itself and that form can change quickly in international cricket. Gill’s comments appear aimed at easing pressure on the opener as India looks ahead to upcoming fixtures and a chance for senior players to regain momentum.
