Ashwin Says Rohit and Virat Are 'Impossible to Drop' — And Points to a Deeper Bias in Indian Cricket
Times of India·Tuesday, 21 July 2026
Ravichandran Ashwin said dropping Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli is nearly impossible given their achievements and massive fan following. He also pointed out that batters and bowlers are treated very differently by the public and selectors in Indian cricket. Ashwin highlighted that bowlers receive less support and face limited criticism when dropped.
Why It Matters
This goes beyond one player's form — Ashwin is calling out a structural imbalance in how Indian cricket values and protects its stars, which affects squad selection and team balance.
