Well, in this global COVID-19 lockdown, sportspersons including cricket fraternities are spending time with their family and of course on social media to be in touch with their fans and New Zealand fast bowler Mitchell McClenaghan is among those interacting fans on Twitter recently.
Recently, McClenaghan had a Twitter session, where he admitted that India opener Rohit Sharma’s presence could have made a difference in the result of the two-Test series that New Zealand won with 2-0 margin against the No.1 ranked Test side led by Virat Kohli last month.
In the recent Test series, India was completely outplayed by the Kiwis and went on to suffer its first whitewash in the format after a long time.

In a Twitter session, McClenaghan – who plays with Rohit Sharma for Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League (IPL), was asked by a fan on whether the opening batter’s presence would have made a difference, and the Kiwi paceman replied: “Of course”.
Noteworthy, Rohit was ruled out of the three-match ODI series and Test series as well after suffering a calf injury while batting in the fifth T20I at the Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui against New Zealand.
India whitewashed the hosts in the T20I series but then they couldn’t win a single match in the series, as suffered a whitewash in both ODI and Test series against the Kiwis.
