Obviously, with the experience… he has batted and bailed India out so many times from difficult situations. The quality and his kind of batsmanship are required. Plus, he is still a leader of the team. All those things put together, you don’t want to miss out. You don’t want to ignore that kind of stuff. His presence is very important to the team,” Rohit Sharma said.
