The captains were asked whether they would be comfortable if their bowlers had run out a non-striker batsman. All the captains who are in support of Mankading, please raise your hands, but all the players showed unity and did not show their support for Mankading. This made it clear that you will not get to see Mankading in the T20 World Cup. Interestingly, Rohit Sharma was not present on the stage at the time of the incident, but it will be interesting to see his stand on the issue.
What did Rohit Sharma say in the press conference?
From the great match against Pakistan to Bumrah’s injury, Shami’s return, Rohit Sharma gave his opinion on all the issues. In response to the questions, he says, ‘We are fully prepared. Everyone knows who is going to play. I don’t believe in last minute decisions. Mohammed Shami was at his home when he got corona then we called him to NCA. He worked hard there. He is currently in Brisbane. Indian team will reach Brisbane tomorrow. He will practice with the team. Shami is very positive, his recovery has been good. Jasprit has done well for us so far, but you are not under your control. He is 27-28 years old, he has a lot of cricket left. We will miss her.’
