Parthiv Patel said that Shubman Gill will not have to put in any extra effort to manage Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma as the two former Indian captains are very mature and will provide the young Punjab star with good support.
I don’t think Shubman Gill needs to put his energies behind managing these senior players – Parthiv Patel
Rohit Sharma was recently sacked as captain of the Indian ODI team and is now all set to play under Shubman Gill for the first time in international cricket.
Your daily dose of cricket!
Previously, Rohit played under Virat Kohli before taking charge of the team. Also, the last captain that Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli played together under was MS Dhoni, which was almost a decade ago.
It will be a new challenge for Rohit and Kohli to play under a 26-year-old, and Shubman Gill may also face the challenge of leading the senior duo.
Meanwhile, Parthiv Patel, who shared the dressing room with Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma as a player, and with Shubman Gill as a coach, said the legendary duo are not the kind of players who would cause any trouble to the youngsters.
“I don’t think it will be a problem because of the kind of personalities that Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have. Look at Virat, he became a captain when MS Dhoni was still playing. He knows the role a senior player plays in grooming a new captain,” Parthiv Patel said, as quoted by PTI.
“The same was there when Rohit became captain. Yes, Virat was not his senior captain but still he was a former captain. They have clearly gone through that phase and understand the decision, which is about improving Indian cricket, and they both always look mature. I don’t think Shubman Gill needs to put his energies into managing these senior players.”
Two years is a long time, especially when you consider that there are not that many ODI games – Parthiv Patel
While talking about the future of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma and whether they can participate in the 2027 ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup, Parthiv Patel said that remaining match fitness could be the biggest challenge for them since very few ODI matches are played in a year. He said:
“Two years is a long time, especially if you see that there are not very many ODI games. Like earlier times when there were 20-25 matches a year, you start playing and before you know it two years have passed,” he said.
“But it is a different challenge and we are also new to this kind of challenge. The challenge is to stay fit.”
I will definitely feel that they should play the Vijay Hazare-Parthiv Patel Trophy
Recently, the Chairman of the Bank of Credit and Commerce International specified Ajit Agarkar He directed Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma to make themselves available for the Vijay Hazare Trophy to remain in contention for the 2027 ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup.
Parthiv Patel has now made a statement along the same lines, urging Kohli and Rohit to participate in the domestic cricket competition. He said:
“I definitely feel they should be playing the Vijay Hazare Trophy. It’s not about setting an example like ‘We have Kohli and Rohit playing Vijay Hazare’. That’s not the way I would like to think about it.
“Playing the Hazare Trophy will help their game and that in turn will help the Indian cricket team.”
