India captain Rohit Sharma calls Ashwin, Jadeja “marathon men” however refuses to foretell the longer term

Ravichandran Ashwin claimed 25 wickets, whereas Ravindra Jadeja bagged 22 within the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, guiding the Indian group to a 2-1 sequence win.

So, fairly clearly, India captain Rohit Sharma was requested within the post-match interplay whether or not the duo can be round when the subsequent version of the sequence occurs about 4 years later.

Rohit swayed his head, smiled and referred to as them ‘marathon men’. However, on the anticipated traces, the captain didn’t need to go into any form of prediction.

“I don’t know honestly if they’ll be around. I don’t know if I will be around. Four years is a long time. Honestly, for the sake of Indian cricket, I hope they stay and play a lot of cricket. Both of them are marathon players for us,” Rohit stated.

With Ashwin and Jadeja in motion, India made essentially the most of turning surfaces in Nagpur and Indore to go 2-0 forward within the sequence earlier than shedding in Indore and settling for a attract Ahmedabad.

“They know how to get the job done, especially in this part of the world, you give them the ball, and they get you those breakthroughs. They get you crucial runs with the bat… Where we stand today in terms of how we perform in Indian conditions, a lot of credit goes to them. A large part of our success belongs to those two guys. It’s not just for a period of a few years, it’s over a decade now,” Rohit stated.

“It’s a long long time to keep performing the way these two guys have done for us. I can only hope that they continue to play for as long as possible because those shoes will definitely be very, very big to fill…”
