Rohit Sharma being pushed down to number three against New Zealand was an indication that the Indian team management did not trust the star opener to effectively counter the inswing of Trent Boult, according to former captain Sunil Gavaskar.
Rohit can be counted among the greats in white-ball cricket and is in line to lead India in the shortest format after Virat Kohli steps down at the end of the ongoing T20 World Cup. He was pushed to number three and Ishan Kishan opened the batting. The move failed and so the entire Indian batting line up as the side laboured to 110/7 in 20 overs. New Zealand chased down the target in 14.3 overs to hand India a crushing eight-wicket loss.
