Rohit Sharma will be extremely important for India National Cricket Team in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. Although he hasn't been in great form. He failed in the entire Test series against the Bangladesh National Cricket Team and the New Zealand National Cricket Team.
As a leader too, Rohit Sharma failed but with the kind of impact he has made for the team, his presence will boost the team. He will have a point to prove in the series and would want to silence all the criticism that he faced after the home series loss against New Zealand.
