JayaWardene reminded fans and critics that Rohit had just won the match player in the Champions Trophy finals against New Zealand.
“If you call me every two shifts to look at someone’s performance, it’s a bit unfair. My memory of his last shifts was the masters winning trophies.
“We have always supported the main group as a bombaj to deliver us, so we will do it. It was unfortunate that he was hit in networks, and hopefully it would be 100%, so we will continue to support people to achieve the results for us,” he added.
