India’s hopes of qualifying for the Asia Cup last had been dashed on Wednesday as Pakistan beat Afghanistan to arrange a last conflict with Sri Lanka. With two defeats within the Super 4 stage towards Pakistan and Sri Lanka, India had a forgettable run. After topping their group with two wins from two outings, India simply couldn’t rise as much as the problem within the Super 4 stage. While analysing the sport between India and Sri Lanka, former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar felt that Rohit Sharma regarded uncomfortable as captain, and was seen shouting and screaming in the course of the defeat to the Islanders.
Despite suggesting that there’s uncertainty within the Indian camp, Akhtar feels that that is good get up name for India, particularly with the T20 World Cup approaching.
“You don’t have to change the captain again. Rohit Sharma is looking uncomfortable, he is shouting and screaming. There is uncertainty in the Indian camp. In hindsight, this is a good wake up call for India. Now, India know what their final XI should be, especially with the T20 World Cup coming up,” Akhtar stated in a video uploaded on his YouTube channel.
