Aakash Chopra says “I am a little worried” on Rishabh Pant and Rohit Sharma opting out of the IND vs NZ Test series

Rishabh Pant and Rohit Sharma will miss both Tests against New Zealand. According to Aakash Chopra, ahead of Team India’s journey to South Africa.

During the Test series against New Zealand, Pant and Sharma. As well as the pace trio of Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, and Shardul Thakur, are taking a sabbatical from international cricket. Virat Kohli will also miss the first Test, but will return to lead the team in the second, which will be held in Mumbai.

“If Rohit is not playing even one Test match, Rishabh Pant is also not playing and they are going to be surely a part of our XI in the first Test against South Africa, I am a little worried.” He said

Pant and Sharma might have taken a rest during the first Test and returned for the second. According to the former India opener.

“I am just wondering, is it not a preparation for South Africa? Why am I saying the second match is important? You don’t play the first, you can take a break in between because when you go to South Africa and there is no game time in between, it is going to be tough. The batters need some time in the middle, they should be used to scoring runs on the pitch.” Chopra reasoned

Rishabh Pant and Rohit Sharma may be sent to South Africa ahead of schedule by the BCCI. In such a circumstance, they may join the India A squad and become accustomed to the conditions in the Rainbow Nation. Aakash Chopra
