After the 2021 T20 World Cup, Panesar, in a chat with timesofindia.com, shared his opinion on what the future could hold for some veteran Indian players. While admitting that the Indian team disappointed everyone, the former cricketer said that a few retirements could be coming.
“Let’s be honest. India didn’t put up a fight in the semis. It was a completely one-sided affair. Indian bowling looked clueless in front of Buttler and Hales. You are playing the semis and you need to give a solid fight; 168 is not a small score.
“Rohit (Sharma), Dinesh Karthik and R Ashwin are the top names who could say goodbye to T20I cricket. The team management will surely have a meeting with these guys and will ask them about their plans…It’s time these players make way for young players,” Panesar said.
