 Rohit Sharma is considered one of the greatest batter in the world cricket. He has performed very very well in all three formats. But in T20I format now some cricket expert are trying to create a false narrative about Rohit Sharma and that false narrative is "Rohit Sharma is not a deserving player in the T20I team". But that thing is not true. Rohit Sharma is the most deserving player in the T20I team.

Rohit Sharma T20I Records : (2022-2024) 

This phase wasn't good for Rohit Sharma in T20IS. Because he decides to play T20I cricket in other way and that was not good for Rohit Sharma in T20IS. Rohit Sharma decides he will play T20I cricket with aggressive mindset and he started playing T20I cricket very aggressive mindset and because of that aggressive mindset Rohit Sharma has lost his form in T20IS. Rohit Sharma is still playing aggressively in T20IS despite losing his form in T20IS. Because of this aggressive mindset when Rohit Sharma failed Every cricket expert and Commentators started to create a false narrative. Because in India cricket fans acknowledge those players who scores Fifties and hundreds, they doesn't care about Indian Cricket Team. Rohit Sharma changed his mindset to playing T20I cricket and that is costing his performances in T20IS . In india there is no one batter in T20I cricket who can bat fearlessly in T20I cricket from first ball. Rohit Sharma had taken that decision because in T20I cricket Indian cricket team was not performing very well while other teams were playing T20I cricket very aggressively. He takes that decision but No one Indian batter didn't played with aggressively in T20IS. Only Rohit Sharma was the batter who was playing that type of batting approach in T20IS . Now every cricket journalist and experts are saying " Rohit Sharma is not a good batter in T20I" . Rohit Sharma should've think about that decision before taking that decision.

Why should Indian team not try to create an all format player?

 In international cricket teams always wanted a player who can play all format and for that they always give more than enough chances to players but despite giving too much chances only few cricketers able to perform in all format, same things are happening in Indian cricket now where they are trying to create some all format players but that thing is not good because there are many players who performed brilliantly but because of these things they are losing their places from playing XI. In last 20 years Indian cricket team tried many players for all formats but only few able to perform in all formats , for example Indian team tried white ball stars like Yuvraj and Raina in Test cricket for seeing his performance in white balls but they failed to perform in Test cricket while Indian team tried a T20I superstar Suryakumar Yadav for ODI cricket and Test cricket just because of his batting performance in T20I cricket but Suryakumar Yadav failed in both formats and now he is focusing ...
