Saba Karim on senior players’ T20 batting strategies. “It is up to them (Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and KL Rahul) to find a solution so that they can emerge much better,” Karim said.
Former India wicketkeeper-batter Saba Karim believes that the selectors and team management should have a tough talk with senior players Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and KL Rahul about their strategies if they appear unable to adapt their batting to modern game standards, as he believes there are many players who deserve a spot in the Indian squad.
India had a strong showing during the South Africa series. Remaining unbeaten at home after leveling the series at 2-2 before the final game was call off due to rain. In Ishan Kishan and Ruturaj Gaikwad, the Indian team found two strong contenders for the opening spot. While the latter excelled in only one match, the former scored some crucial runs to make a statement.
Despite their efforts, their inclusion in the playing lineup will be difficult once Rahul returns to the squad. As he will be reserve to open the innings alongside skipper Sharma. While Kishan has a chance to make the squad. Gaikwad’s place is in doubt because the Indian team will include Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav. Both of whom have more international experience.
“A difficult decision for the selectors. ” At this point, I’m confident that all three of them (Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and KL Rahul) will be named to the XI. If such criticism is leveled at them, it is up to them to find a solution so that they emerge in a much better manner,” Karim was quoted by Hindustan Times as saying.

I’m sure they recognize the demands of modern T20 batting: Karim
According to Karim, Rohit, Kohli, and Rahul have the understanding to change their strategy. Bat more quickly in the game’s shortest format. While the captain and former captain are in England preparing for the rescheduled fifth Test. Rahul is in Germany receiving treatment for a groin injury that has forced him to miss the entire tour.
“And if it isn’t happening, team management or selectors must have difficult conversations with the individuals involved because there is stiff competition coming through.” The players you’ve mentioned have enough experience to make the necessary changes to their batting to benefit the national team. “I’m confident they understand the requirements of modern T20 batting,” he added.
