Rohit Sharma was sacked as Mumbai Indians captain ahead of IPL 2024. However, he remains at the helm for Team India. The Indian Captain will lead the country to yet another ICC tournament, with the belief of India going in as favourites.
However, there are rising concerns about Rohit Sharma's form with the bat, heading into the T20 World Cup. The ace Mumbai Indians opener failed to fire with his blade, yet again in IPL 2024 in the match against SRH on Monday as he was dismissed for four runs off just five deliveries.
Fans and pundits have raised their concerns over Rohit Sharma's selection at the T20I World Cup 2024. As a matter of fact, his performances in the previous (2022) edition weren't decent either, to say the least. The former MI captain was also spotted crying in the dressing room after getting cheaply yet again.

What did fans and pundits say about Rohit Sharma's form ahead of T20I WC 2024?
Indian pundit, Harsha Bhogle slammed Rohit Sharma for his form with the bat. The Indian skipper has scored just 34 runs in his last five innings for MI in IPL 2024, causing massive concerns, just ahead of the T20 World Cup.
Rohit Sharma's form is a bit of a concern now. 297 in his first 7 innings, just 34 from his next 5. Needs to finish strongly, Harsha Bhogle tweeted after MI's game vs SRH.

A fan suggested that the Indian captain should hand over his own resignation from the T20I Squad, after scoring just four runs off five deliveries at home against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Rohit Sharma needs to call Ajit Agarkar tonight and handover his resignation from T20i squad. You cannot go to the WC with this form brother... Sorry not sorry!!!, the fan expressed.

A Twitter user, who supposedly is a Virat Kohli fan, slammed Rohit Sharma for his performances in IPL 2024. Sharma has scored four single-digit scores in the last five IPL games, and is nowhere near in good form, to lead India to the World Cup.
Rohit Sharma is going to lead India in T20 World Cup 😭

A fan suggested Indian Captain Rohit Sharma to make space for Rinku Singh in World Cup's squad, and the playing XI, in a sarcastic tweet. The user joked about Sharma's selflessness for his bad form in IPL 2024, in turn making way for Rinku Singh in India's T20 WC Squad.
Rohit Sharma is making space for Rinku Singh in wc playing XI. The most selfless player in the world right now, the fan tweeted.
