Rohit Sharma’s scintillating century would have answered all those who were questioning his place in the Indian team for the ICC T20 World Cup in West Indies and USA in June. There will be the IPL before that of course, where with the cares of the captaincy off his shoulders, we will get to see much more of Rohit, which Afghanistan just saw and was seen sparingly in the previous two editions of the IPL.
There is no doubt that the ultra-short format of the game has incredible demands and so it is understandable that some were questioning his place in the Indian team. They were probably harking back to 2007 when the Big Three of Indian cricket - Sourav Ganguly, Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid made themselves unavailable for the first-ever T20 World Cup in South Africa. They were a little over 34 years of age when they took that call. Nobody knows why they decided that, but it was before the IPL was announced.
