Manjrekar: Kohli, Rohit, Bumrah Could Have Played Duleep Trophy

Former cricketer and commentator Sanjay Manjrekar has expressed concerns over Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Jasprit Bumrah missing the Duleep Trophy. Manjrekar noted that despite India playing 249 international matches in the past five years, Rohit played 59%, Kohli 61%, and Bumrah only 34% of those games. He believes these well-rested players should have joined the domestic tournament for practice. The Duleep Trophy begins on September 5, 2024, and their absence has raised questions about the team’s preparation for the Bangladesh Test series.
