Indian captain Rohit Sharma has expressed concern over the absence of key pacer Mohammad Shami for the two-match Test series once morest South Africa. Speaking at a press conference ahead of the Boxing Day Test at Centurion’s SuperSport Park, Rohit shared his concern over the loss of the valuable services of Mohammad Shami to the Indian team.
Crucial Test series for us. The series is yet to be won here. This is an important opportunity to make history. Came close twice before. That is exciting and encouraging for us. Our seamers have performed well in Australia, England and South Africa. They carried their burdens. But, Shami’s absence is a big setback for us – said Rohit.
An ankle injury during the ODI World Cup led to Mohammad Shami being ruled out. Shami is the highest wicket taker among current Indian bowlers in South Africa with 35 wickets from 8 matches.
The Indian team, which has yet to win a Test series in South Africa, is treating this series as a significant opportunity. Rohit Sharma, along with star players Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah, will aim to lead the team to victory in Mohammed Shami’s absence.
The Indian team, which is set to face South Africa on December 26, is determined to secure its first historic Test series win in the Rainbow Nation.
