Rohit Sharma's Form a Concern for India Ahead of T20 World Cup, Says Harbhajan Singh
Rohit Sharma.

There is reason for concern regarding Rohit Sharma's performance in the current IPL. He's only achieved  88 runs  in his last seven innings, much short of his normal output. His incapacity to make a big impact at bat has also affected the Mumbai Indians' success this season as captain.

The T20 World Cup is quickly approaching, making Rohit's performance even more vital to Team India. The former off-spinner for India, Harbhajan Singh, voiced his concerns on Rohit's present form. He feels that Rohit would be in a better mindset for the next World Cup in the Caribbean and the United States if he can score some significant runs in MI's final IPL match against the Lucknow Super Giants.


Although not running can occasionally provide extra incentive, Harbhajan stressed that being in form already gives confidence. Finding Rohit's rhythm is even more crucial given the ambiguity surrounding US pitching practices. India may face difficulties if he can't get back into his scoring groove, especially on foreign territory.

Positively, Harbhajan has been impressed with leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal's performance for the Rajasthan Royals. Despite a few poor performances, Chahal, one of India's spin four, has grabbed **15 wickets** in the IPL this year. India's chances in the forthcoming T20 World Cup¹²³ appear bright thanks to his form. ????????
