Rohan Gavaskar on Jitesh Sharma’s removal from the IND vs. AFG 2nd T20 International. According to Rohan Gavaskar, the Men in Blue have to think about resting Shivam Dube for the match to allow players like Sanju Samson and Avesh Khan more opportunities.
He went on, “I think you’ve seen enough of him now.” “I believe there are a couple more folks to consider, but he’s made his case. Someone like Avesh Khan, we have not seen him. Again, Kuldeep played with such assurance that it was hard to see him execute”.
The third and final Twenty20 International match will be played at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Wednesday, January 17.
When Team India’s wicketkeeper-battler Jitesh Sharma lost his wicket in Sunday’s second Twenty20 International match against Afghanistan in Indore, Rohan Gavaskar thought he would be unhappy with himself.
Gavaskar noted that Jitesh didn’t need to try to boost the ante because Shivam Dube was already securely positioned at the crease. As Jitesh attempted to play an offensive shot, he was out after scoring a two-ball duck.

“When he sees what Rinku Singh did, Jitesh Sharma will be thinking in the locker room, ‘I wish I had done that.'” Shivam Dube was batting like a dream, therefore he would have preferred to have gone run-a-ball rather than attempt to be overly aggressive.
There was no chance that we would lose the game; he was going to win it for you.” “So what Jitesh is going to be seeing and tapping himself considering. ‘I should have done a logical thing here and taken a single,'” he explained.
India easily trounced Afghanistan, grabbing six wickets along the route and chasing the 173-run deficit in just the 16th over. With scores of 68 and 63*, respectively, Shivam Dube and Yashasvi Jaiswal were the two most impressive batters. According to Rohan Gavaskar, India should rest Shivam Dube for the third Twenty20 International.
Given that India has already secured the series with an unbeatable 2-0 advantage. The third and final Twenty20 international between Afghanistan and India will be a dead rubber.
