Asia Cup 2022: Mohammad Hafeez lashes out at Indian skipper Rohit Sharma for his poor outings 

While the Indian team has been clinical with both bat and ball, skipper Rohit Sharma has struggled to score runs in the two games he has featured so far. In the game against Pakistan, he looked completely out of sorts with the bat as he scored 12 runs in 18 balls and it was clear that he gave his wicket under pressure.

Rohit then had a decent start against Hong Kong as he took their bowlers to the cleaners at first but perished for 21 runs in just 13 balls. His form has been a cause of concern for a while and many fans and pundits have started to point their fingers at him.

Recently, former Pakistani cricketer, Mohammad Hafeez also took a dig at the Indian skipper and said that his body language is weak confused and he looked scared during the match against Pakistan. He also said that the right-hander might work to stay India captain for a while.

“If we observed Rohit Sharma’s body language during the toss, he was weak, there was a bit of worry and confusion. I didn’t see the Rohit Sharma, which I have observed during the matches, who plays beautiful innings. I feel captaincy is creating pressure on Rohit Sharma and he has to deal with numerous problems. His own form has taken a hit, IPL went bad and since his return to international cricket, especially in this format, I haven’t seen the flow returning,” Mohammad Hafeez said.
