Australian skipper Aaron Finch on Thursday said India have enough quality in their ODI squad to replace a great batsman like Rohit Sharma, who is back home nursing a hamstring injury.
The in-form Mayank Agarwal is likely to open with Shikhar Dhawan in Rohit’s absence in the ODI series.
“He is obviously a great player and someone who has had quite a bit of success against us in the past. It (Rohit’s injury) is unfortunate,” Finch said in a virtual media interaction ahead of the series opener
“You want to play against the best players all the time but whoever he is going to replace him, possibly Mayank, he has been in great form as well. So you take away a lot of experience but you also bring in another quality player.”
Finch was Virat Kohli’s teammate at Royal Challengers Bangalore during the IPL and was asked if he noticed in weaknesses in India skipper’s game.
“He doesn’t have too many to be honest. If you look at his record it is second to none. We have to keep looking get him out. When you go away from that and look to contain players you can sort of miss a trick there,” Finch said.
“There are not too many chinks in his armour, he is probably the best one day player of all time.”
