Sourav Ganguly : Mumbai not using Rohit well by playing him in the middle order
Sourav Ganguly believes that Mumbai Indians have failed to make proper use of Rohit Sharma by playing him in the middle order and that the skipper should move to the top of the innings. Dada also felt Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav are fine prospects for India in the shorter formats of the game.
Rohit failed to get going on his return to competitive cricket following a thigh injury, scoring just 9 runs from three matches, with his decision to move down the order not helping his cause.
“Rohit will take time. I think Mumbai are not using him well while playing him in the middle order. They should open with Rohit and back Buttler for the No 4 spot,” Ganguly told India Today.
The former India skipper has also heaped praise on Hardik Pandya.
“Hardik is the most improved player this year. Among all the youngsters, he has been the best. Pandya won two games on his own and emerged as the most valuable player. Pandya has improved 40% player from what he was in the ICC World T20 last year. If Anil Kumble and Virat Kohli are following his game, I would suggest that they play him in all three formats,” Ganguly said.
“The talent is there but you need to use brains to transform that talent which Jacque Kallis did. Pandya can bowl around 140
In the first week of the IPL, two wrist spinners, Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal have impressed everyone.
“Kuldeep is our future. He's a wrist spinner and different from others. It is difficult to pick someone who is unorthodox and accurate at the same time. Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep are very good prospects for the shorter formats and they can represent India for long,” Ganguly said.
