India has won the ODI series against New Zealand by 2-0. The team defeated the Kiwis by 8 wickets in Raipur on Saturday. In such a situation, the third match to be played in Indore on January 24 has remained just a formality.
In such a situation, cricket pundits say that captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli should leave the third ODI and play Ranji Trophy, so that they can prepare better for the home series against Australia coming on Indian tour next month. After losing the Test series at home, the Australian team is coming with full preparation. He has included 8 spinners in the squad.
In such a situation, we will tell you in this story that Why should Rohit-Kohli play Ranji matches?

Here’s a look at India’s performance in the last season of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy…

First let’s talk about that concept…
Spin tracks are commonly built in India for Test series against Australia, New Zealand and England, as Indians believe that spinners confuse foreign batsmen and are difficult for foreign batsmen to play. In such a situation, we expect our batsmen to score more runs on the spinners than the visitors.
However, this concept is now changing as foreign batsmen including some English batsmen are playing spin well. While the Indian batsmen who specialize in playing spin are seen struggling in front of the spinners. Virat and Rohit are recent examples of this.

Now let’s know in some points why Rohit-Virat should play Ranji…

1. Won the series, now the third ODI formality
Team India has captured the ODI series against New Zealand. Now there is no danger of losing the series in front of him. That’s why both the stars can skip the third ODI and try the youngsters. This will give the team the experience of playing without 2 big batsmen and will also test the youth in the ODI World Cup year.

2. Home series against Kangaroos important
Next month the Australian team is coming on the Indian tour. Last time we defeated him in his own house. In such a situation, the Australia team is coming with full preparation. He has included 8 spinners in his squad. There are 4 specialists and 4 part time spinners in them. In such a situation, Rohit-Kohli will get used to playing spin ball by playing Ranji.

3. Rohit-Kohli has been battling in front of spinners
Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have been seen battling in front of the spinners. This is clearly visible in the statistics of Test cricket for 2022.

Rishabh Pant is out of Test series due to accident.

Now understand how Ranji will practice against spinners
There will be no pressure in domestic cricket. In such a situation, both the batsmen can freely use their shots. Apart from this, there will be new bowlers from different state associations to face. Those who are coming up with different variety of balls. In Ranji matches, both the batsmen will have enough time to try shots.
