"There's nothing to think about or discuss" - Indian all-rounder's huge statement on Rohit Sharma after IND vs ENG 2025 2nd ODI

Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has lauded skipper Rohit Sharma for his century in the second ODI against England in Cuttack on Sunday, February 9. The hosts sealed the three-match series with a four-wicket win, as the captain scored 119 runs off 90 balls to be declared the Player of the Match.

In a post-match press conference, Jadeja showered praise on Rohit, saying no one in the dressing room was worried about his form and that it was a matter of one inning for him to find his groove again.

“In the dressing room, we’re not worried at all. He’s such a big player that he knows how to get back in form. It was just matter of one inning," Jadeja said (via Indian Express).

Talking about Rohit Sharma's knock, Jadeja said it did not feel like the Indian skipper had not scored runs coming into the second ODI. He added that Rohit played some confident shots and that his return to form ahead of the 2025 Champions Trophy was important for India.

"It didn’t feel like he has not scored runs in the last few innings. It was a smooth knock and played some confident shots. Sometimes it’s just about one or two innings. If one or two innings go well, it’s a good thing. Him getting back in the form before the Champions Trophy is important for us. I think it’s excellent for the team," Jadeja reckoned.

The all-rounder also opined that there was nothing to discuss about Rohit Sharma's game. The star batter has been subjected to severe criticism for his poor form in recent times. However, Jadeja backed him, saying:

“Obviously, he knows what his game is. There’s nothing to think about or discuss.”
