Rohit Sharma has been very calm and composed with the statements that he makes in the media post being appointed as the Indian captain. But on the eve of the 4th test match against Australia, the Indian captain did not hold back his remarks. It was Ravi Shastri who criticized Rohit Sharma and team India on air while commentating for Star TV Network. Shastri went on to say that team India was overconfident in the 3rd Test match which they lost on a rank turner. Here is what Rohit Sharma had to say in response:&nbsp;



<h2>Ravi Shastri Says Indian Team was ?Overconfident? in the 3rd Test:?</h2>

?This is what a little complacency and a little bit of overconfidence can do where you take things for granted, you drop guard and this game will bring you down.?, Shastri said while covering the game live for the Star TV Network. Shastri has been the team manager since 2014 and was also the coach of the Indian cricket team for 4 years from 2017 to 2021. He has seen how cricket has evolved and he is not new to the pressure and standard of the game. These comments of such a well-aware person did not go down very well with Indian skipper Rohit Sharma. ?



<h2>Rohit Sharma Calls Ravi Shastri?s Remark ?Rubbish?:?</h2>

Rohit has been very calm when answering such tough questions in the past. He had been earlier asked about his possible rift with Virat and also about dropping Virat Kohli, but Rohit Sharma has answered these questions with composure. But this time, the Indian skipper did not hold back and expressed what he truly felt. &nbsp;



?Honestly when you win two games and the people on the outside feel we are overconfident, it?s absolutely ?rubbish? because you want to do your best in all 4 games.?, Rohit said. He further added, ?You don?t want to stop by winning two games, it is as simple as that. Obviously, all these guys when they talk about being overconfident and all and especially when they are not a part of the dressing room, they don?t know what sort of talk happens in the dressing room.?&nbsp;



<h2>Rohit Sharma Refers to Ravi Shastri as an ?Outsider?:?</h2>



In a very one-of-a-kind statement from Sharma, he went on to refer to Shastri as an ?outsider?. He said, ?We want to do our best in all games and if it seems overconfident, or anything like that for the ?outsiders?, it doesn?t matter to us.??Further Rohit added, "So, yeah it's about being "ruthless" and not being "overconfident". Ruthless is a word that comes to every cricketer's mind, not to give an inch to the opposition while touring abroad".



The 4th game will begin at 9:30 am on 9 March 2023. The venue is the newly built Shri. Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

Rohit Sharma Says Ravi Shastri?s Remark Was ?Rubbish?. India VS Australia 4th Test Press Conference. &nbsp;

"Want To Win World Cup 2023, Don't Open With Rohit-Gill," Says Ravi Shastri: The ICC ODI World Cup 2023 is drawing nearer by the day, and cricket pundits are busy making some bold predictions and statements. Former Indian cricket team head coach Ravi Shastri believes that Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill should not be paired to open the Innings in the forthcoming ICC ODI World Cup 2023.



Ravi Shastri reckons India should have at least two left-handers in their starting XI for the World Cup 2023. The former World Cup champion emphasized that India won the 2011 World Cup with two key left-handers who gave variations to their batting lineup. Ravi Shastri, who has observed and coached the team, thinks the management is unlikely to get benefit from the present opening pair of Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill in the marque event.



India's favored opening combo in ODIs has been Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill in place of the injured KL Rahul. Shastri contends that the lack of a left-handed batter makes it hard for this pair to be accepted for the World Cup. Shastri emphasized the value of a balanced lineup and the potential influence of a left-handed batter in the top three or four positions in an interview with The Week.



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Shastri On Rohit-Gill Opening Pair for World Cup 2023</h4>



"No, that is going to be a challenge. You will have to see closer to the event. Form again becomes important. You need to strike the right balance. Do you think a left-hander will make a difference at the top? It does not have to be opening but in the top three or four. You have to weigh all those options. Ideally, in the top six, I would like to see two left-handers," Shastri said in an interview with The Week.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Gautam-Gambhir.jpg" alt="&quot;Want To Win World Cup 2023, Don't Open With Rohit-Gill,&quot; Says Ravi Shastri" class="wp-image-67597" /></figure>



Shastri highlighted the importance of left-handers in earlier World Cup success. Gautam Gambhir, Yuvraj Singh, and Suresh Raina, all left-handers, all played significant roles in the 2011 World Cup victory.



Shastri cited historical instances, such as Australia's dominant lineup of left-handed players and the winning teams of 1974, 1979, 1987, and 1996. In order for the team to succeed, he stressed the importance of creating a mix and balance.



"Whenever you have done well [left-handers contributed]. In 2011, you h u had [Gautam Gambhir, Yuvraj [Singh] and [Suresh] Raina. Go back to 1974? [Alvin] Kallicharran, [Roy] Fredericks, [Clive] Lloyd? The same in 1979. The 1983 team was the only one that did not have a left-hander, but that whole tournament was against all odds. In 1987, Australia had enough? they had [Allan] Border at the top, they had another two or three, down the order."



"In 1996 Sri Lanka proved it again, with [Sanath] Jayasuriya, [Arjuna] Ranatunga, [Asanka] Gurusinha. And then Australia, with the Gilchrists and the Haydens. England have it now. That mix and balance has to be created," he added.
