IPL 2019: One Indian player from each team who should be rested for a few games ahead of World Cup

#3 Mumbai Indians- Rohit Sharma

As the reports suggest, Mumbai Indians may rest Jasprit Bumrah for some of the games that the team play and they could add the Indian opening to the list and field him depending on his injury. His record in ICC events is outstanding and BCCI will preserve him as much as possible before the World Cup.

Yes, Rohit Sharma will be the captain of the Mumbai Indians but since IPL is a long tournament and even a freakish injury to him can hamper India's chances at the World Cup.

He has been in the form of his life as far as the white ball cricket is concerned and that should be added advantage for India ahead of the mega event but one may feel the long gruelling IPL may take a toll on many of the Indian players as well as the overseas ones.

So with the best interest, it may be wise to keep Rohit fresh ahead of the World Cup.
