The exclusion of middle-order batsman Rohit Sharma was the surprise in India's 15-man World Cup squad announced in Chennai. The other bone of contention had been the second specialist spinner's slot, and the selectors have picked both offspinner R Ashwin and legspinner Piyush Chawla, ahead of left-arm spinner Pragyan Ojha. Most of the other names in the squad were along expected lines.
Squad: MS Dhoni (capt & wk), Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Yuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina, Virat Kohli, Yusuf Pathan, Harbhajan Singh, Praveen Kumar, Zaheer Khan, Ashish Nehra, Munaf Patel, Piyush Chawla, R Ashwin
Its sounds very bad that Rohit Sharma didn't get selected for the world cup 2011. I don't know why this decision has been taken. Rohit Sharma's price in IPL 4 is 9 crore which is one of the highest price of top players.
He is hailed as one of the most talented batsmen and yet Rohit Sharma is not sure of a place in the Indian team even after three years of indian cricket
THANKS! THIS REALLY HELPED A LOT! Share with World now
He was given a chance and didnt make use of that. So he has to wait and he is not old and still he is young and a huge road is before him and he will come back strongly.
