But the question is why Rohit Sharma isn’t bowling anymore despite having such nice bowling figures under his belt, the answer for this can be traced back to his Finger Injury.

Hitman himself said that he misses bowling and he isn’t bowling because of the injury he faced. “I miss my bowling! Since I injured my finger, I’m unable to grip the ball and I can’t bowl the way I used to. Wankhede’s pitch doesn’t give me a chance to bowl, so I stay away from it,” Rohit Sharma said this during the Star Sports’ Cricket Connected chat show.

Despite, there are also a couple of other reasons that might’ve made him choose not to bowl. it might be because of the increase in the quality of bowlers with cricketers like Ravindra Jadeja and Hardik Pandya coming into a strong presence in International Cricket or maybe he just doesn’t want to strain his batting hand.

However, Rohit himself said that he is happy to bowl in the Test Cricket because of that he can give a break to the bowler in their long spells. “In Tests, I try to bowl because that gives bowlers a break. To help the team, I mentally prepare myself to bowl 10 overs in a Test match,” said Rohit Sharma.
