If you are talking about the top three, they have been pretty consistent performers – Rohit Sharma
Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma said that the top three of the Indian batting unit have been performing well consistently for several years.
He added that the “youngsters will get their share of chances” in the future and gave the example of Ishan Kishan, who has got his chance and is set to open the innings with Rohit Sharma in the first ODI against West Indies.
“Yes, we got results. But if you are talking about the top three, they have been pretty consistent performers for years. So yes, the youngsters will get their share of chances and just like Ishan is getting a chance, they will keep getting chances,” he said on a more serious note.
“We have a lot of matches in future so batters will get their fair share of chances. Shikhar Dhawan batted well in South Africa and now he is down with COVID, even Rutu has COVID, so Ishan is getting his chances, so youngsters will get chances but how they utilise is the actual thing,” he further added.
