There are so many controversies surrounding the injury but that would be the least of the concern for Rohit Sharma at the moment. Ravindra Jadeja is an important asset to India with regards to the balance of the team across formats let alone T20Is. He can contribute in all the three departments of the game, and he along with Hardik Pandya in the XI would have given immense flexibility to the Indian captain.

What will India do going forward?

India have 6 more T20Is before the world cup in Australia. They will have to find the right balance in the absence of Ravindra Jadeja. They did some terrible blunders in the recently concluded Asia cup 2022 by playing Deepak Hooda at #7 which proved to be a disaster in the absence of Ravindra Jadeja. One can only hope that India had learnt their mistakes and put up a strong show starting from the series against Australia till the end of the world cup.
