Chopra expressed his displeasure with the situation in a video posted to his YouTube account.

“You don’t have Shubman Gill, Ravindra Jadeja isn’t available, Axar Patel isn’t available, and now they’re saying Rohit Sharma isn’t available. What exactly is going on? Should we postpone our tours to South Africa?,” Aakash Chopra said.

Cricket Sports: Moreover, Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul had formed a solid opening combination, according to Aakash Chopra.

“Rohit Sharma is going to be a huge miss. If his tour is in doubt, India’s chances are looking in doubt because who was your best Test batter in 2021. Why did you do well in England – Rohit was there with Rahul. Rohit has started loving Test cricket and he is enjoying leaving or defending,” Chopra said.
