Selectors are worried about Rohit Sharma’s fitness after he was included in India’s squad for Afghanistan ODIs with an asterisk. Rohit has missed 5 matches for MI in IPL 2026 and hasn’t fielded once. Although he has reduced his weight, there’s doubt over whether he will make it to the ODI World Cup. BCCI has picked Ishan Kishan due to concerns over Rohit’s fitness, as he can bat anywhere from one to six. The board is also not worried about Virat Kohli, as he has been a livewire in the field for RCB and continues to dominate.
Agarkar grilled for Shami fitness claim
Wasim Jaffer is miffed over the reasoning behind Mohammed Shami’s exclusion. Ajit Agarkar had stated that the medical team doesn’t believe that Shami is fit for ODI or Test cricket. Jaffer labelled Agarkar’s comment as ‘nonsense’ since the veteran pacer played the entire Ranji Trophy season for Bengal. The former India opener believes the selectors should just say they’ve overlooked him rather than talk about his fitness.
KKR’s injury woes
Angkrish Raghuvanshi might miss out on playing KKR’s last league stage match of IPL 2026. The wicketkeeper batter had suffered a concussion against MI and was subbed out. As per ICC protocols, a player can’t take the field for 7 days after a head injury. Meanwhile, Varun Chakaravarthy will play the DC game despite a hairline fracture in his left foot as he desperately wants KKR to make the playoffs.
