Indian captain Rohit Sharma was asked about his ‘comeback’ in ODIs after the third game of the series against New Zealand, which saw him score his first century in the format in three years. The 35-year-old clearly became irritated by the question and hit back at the journalists instead. Sharma has been in magnificent form in 50-over cricket lately. In the first ODI against Sri Lanka in Guwahati, he slammed 83 runs and narrowly missed out on a century. The half-centuries have also started to pour recently, but Rohit ended his three-year wait for a ton in One Day Internationals…

Reports suggest there is a real possibility that star all-rounder Hardik Pandya could end up leading the Indian team during the T20I series against Sri Lanka that begins on January 3. KL Rahul, who has been underfiring in this format for a long time, is also apparently set to face the axe. A massive overhaul could be in order for Team India in the T20 format of the game.
