Rohit Sharma now holds the distinction of getting selected for Team India without ever having to perform at any level at any time. After his creditable show in the 2007 T-20 WC, Rohit has mostly been 'No-hit' but for occasional sparks without any real ignition!
His form in the IPL has been patchy; bowling just occasional and batting still rarer! I would like to check the color of his eyes. He sure is the current BEB [Blue Eyed Boy] of Indian Cricket. He was selected to replace an injured Laxman during the Bangladesh tour. On what merits is something known only to the 'wise men'!
Virat Kohli has done pretty well in the last couple of ODI series with two hundreds to his credit. He has fielded well too and is a very dependable anchor to have. His show in the ongoing IPL show has been pretty satisfactory. But he gets the boot and in comes Rohit, for reasons that could be explained only by Srikkanth and Co.
Not many will grudge the selection of Dinesh Karthik and Vinay Kumar. Both have done what it merits to be on the radar. But Rohit Sharma... Beats me! Piyush Chawla has been recalled; perhaps because he is looking cute and so many young girls may actually start following Cricket just for his sake. This may further the popularity of Cricket among PYTs. Noble intentions, perhaps! Otherwise, what was Amit Mishra's fault? Some questions have no answers!
And then another of Dhoni's and Selectors' favorites; Ashish Nehra is back! He will be selected with no trial whatsoever! All are equal, but some people are more equal! Only omission from the 'Blue Eyed Boys' list is Ishant Sharma! Probably thanks to 'Hat trick Hero' PK and Sharp brained Vinay! Else, he should have been selected because he has done as well as Rohit and Piyush if not worse!
