Basit Ali made an emotional appeal
Basit Ali made an emotional appeal to the fans in a video on his YouTube channel, saying, “There are talks that Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Ashwin should be dropped from the team. But do you have any players of their level? Will you drop those players from the team whose quality is no less than anyone else?” Basit said that India should not question its stars in a hurry, but should motivate them so that they can return to their form.
Basit Ali gave advice to Rohit-Virat
Basit Ali also admitted that Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have suffered from lack of match practice. They did not participate in domestic tournaments like Duleep Trophy, while many other players of the Indian Test team participated in this tournament. Basit said, “Virat and Rohit need match practice. They should be allowed to play on such grounds where they can stay at the crease for a long time.”
