Harsh on team selection for WTC final
Taking to Twitter late Wednesday, Harsh tweeted, “Terrible tragedy that @imVkohli isn’t test captain anymore there is no intensity / hunger without him at the helm the players are passive and just going through the motions under Rohit… poor team selection also Ashwin had to play + Bumrah out through injury is a huge blow.”
R Ashwin is in the squad but not a part of the playing eleven. The lineup includes Rohit Sharma as captain, Shubman Gill, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane, Srikar Bharat (wicketkeeper), Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Umesh Yadav, Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj.
Australia ended at the top of the WTC table with 11 wins, three losses, five draws in 19 matches whereas India ended at second position with 10 wins, five losses and three draws.
Reactions to Harsh’s tweet
Fans and followers of Harsh remained divided. A Twitter user wrote, “Also Hardik Pandya would have been a wonderful addition.” Another said, “He’s still there on the pitch. If intensity is all he can definitely bring that. People come up with weird arguments to hype Virat’s captaincy. Captaincy is easier with a prime Bumrah in the team. And also Ashwin.” One more tweeted, “@imVkohli is not the captain but he could perform as a player. Lets see what he will do for the team.”
