IND vs AFG LIVE: Despite Asia Cup failure, Rahul Dravid sticks to Rest and Rotation policy, Captain Rohit Sharma sits out of Afghanistan match – Check out
Despite the ongoing criticism regarding rest and rotation, Rahul Dravid has stuck to his approach with Rohit Sharma sitting out of India’s final game in the Asia Cup 2022. The Hit-Man who scored a fifty in the last match, opted to rest with KL Rahul leading the side in the inconsequential game vs Afghanistan. In Rohit’s absence, Virat Kohli was promoted to the top of the order.
India have struggled in the Asia Cup and many believe the lack of consistency in selections and plans have hindered their progress. Dravid and Rohit have experimented a lot in the course of the last few months with multiple opening combinations used with the likes of Rishabh Pant and Suryakumar Yadav promoted.
Rohit meanwhile has frequently sat out of games, missing the Ireland series, while opting out of the final game of the West Indies series. The Hit-Man also was rested for the 5 T20Is against South Africa, with Rishabh Pant leading in his absence.

The experimentation has only led to further doubts, with Virat Kohli smashing his maiden T20I century opening the batting on Thursday. In Rohit’s absence, the former captain scored the highest score by an Indian in T20Is, remaining unbeaten on 122 off just 61 balls. He became the fourth after Suresh Raina, Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul to have a century across all formats for India.
