Saba Karim blasted the BCCI selection committee for sacking Rohit Sharma as the ODI skipper of the India National Cricket Team and said that he shouldn't have been picked in the squad after being stripped of captaincy.
At a period when India were struggling to win any major ICC Trophies and the wait extended beyond a decade, Rohit Sharma came to the helm and steered the team to two back-to-back glories.
Not just this, he came very close to winning the ODI World Cup in 2023 as India reached the final against Australia unbeaten, but then on November 19 the Pat Cummins & Co. did something magical and broke the hearts of Rohit Sharma and all the Indians.
Overall, Rohit led India in 56 matches in ODI cricket, winning 42, losing 12, while 1 match ended in a tie and 1 had no result. He had an exceptional win percentage of 75 as an ODI skipper, which is the second best in the history of cricket behind Clive Lloyd's 76.2%.
If you haven’t made him the captain, then why are you still keeping him in the team? - Saba Karim
“If you haven’t made him the captain, then why are you still keeping him in the team? It clearly shows that you don’t see him as part of the future, that he won’t be there for the 2027 World Cup. In that case, you shouldn’t keep a player in the team whom you don’t see as part of your plans for 2027.
He has also shown good captaincy - Saba Karim hails Shubman Gill
Saba Karim further lauded Shubman Gill, who is now India's Test and ODI skipper, and said that the Punjab cricketer will be the all-format captain of the team by the next home season. He said:
"Looking at it this way, their thinking seems correct. They feel that there is no other capable leader, and that’s why they are pushing Shubman at this time. He has also shown good captaincy, performing well in Test cricket. Now we will see how he does in ODIs, but yes, he has the capabilities to become a captain.”
