He felt sorry for Rohit Sharma as he was not given opportunity in final XI. Even though Rohit has played and gained a good score in recent times.

“I felt sorry for Rohit. I personally feel Rohit should have been given opportunity also after scoring those five hundred. We know that he is a player capable of doing great things.

“My contribution is not that much because ultimately a player’s hard work is important. We are there to give them moral support and keep motivating. One innings can give you back that confidence and exactly that happened,” Amre added.
