Rohit Sharma Gets Trolled For Picking Alvaro Morata And Willy Caballero In His Fantasy Premier League Squad

Rohit Sharma, who is not part of the India squad for the ongoing Test series against England seems to be keeping himself busy with some Premier League (PL) 2018-19 football action. Rohit Sharma on Saturday revealed his Fantasy Premier League (FPL) squad. His squad consisted of star players like Roberto Firmino, Kevin de Bruyne and Mohamed Salah. Firmino and Salah played a vital role for Liverpool in the previous season to help them reach the Champions League final while De Bruyne was the key playmaker for holders Manchester City. Rohit Sharma also picked Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata and goalkeeper Willy Caballero in the squad -- who had displayed poor form in the previous season.   

One of the fan criticised Rohit Sharma's selection and said, "U shouldn't have taken morata coz he never scores and cabellero doesn't play@rohit sir".

While another said, " U saw what caballero did in the world Cup. Still u would choose him. There are tons of keepers. Pickford for example." 

A few fans also criticized Rohit Sharma for discussing about football. One said, "Cricketer discussing football. .do footballer ever discuss about cricket? ? They don't even know who you are." 

"kya sir apki team test match har rehi hai aur app football dekh rehey hai," the other fan said.
