Amid growing talk over Rohit Sharma’s ODI future, India national cricket team bowling coach Morne Morkel has extended his full support to the former captain ahead of the third and final ODI against England at Lord’s on Sunday, July 19.
Rohit is facing intense scrutiny over his form and his place in India’s ODI team. However, Morkel has made it clear that the Indian team management is not worried about his numbers. There was a drastic change in the Rohit Sharma-Gautam Gambhir equation during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

The bowling coach believes that Rohit’s experience makes him one of India’s biggest strengths, and he is confident that the opener knows how to deal with tough times and will soon be back to his best. He emphasized that Rohit gives confidence and stability to the entire batting order.
“Batting up front is not easy. There is no doubt that Rohit will work on it. He has done it before. He is experienced. And he brings calmness to the batting line-up. So, without a doubt, there are no worries or concerns with the way he is going about things,” Morne Morkel said ahead of the Lord’s ODI, as quoted by Cricbuzz.
