5th Test: Rohit Might Just Pull The Plug On His Test Career After Sydney Game, Says Shastri
Sydney Cricket Ground: Former India head coach Ravi Shastri has predicted that Rohit Sharma might just end his Test career after the ongoing fifth Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground, where he opted to rest. In his absence, Jasprit Bumrah is leading the side, with Shubman Gill coming into the playing eleven.
Rohit has averaged just 6.2 runs in the three Tests he played with the highest score of 10. Speculation around him not playing at Sydney emerged after head coach Gautam Gambhir refused to term him as a guaranteed starter for the game in Sydney.
Bumrah, who captained India to a 295-run win in Perth when Rohit missed the game due to paternity leave, said at the toss that the right-handed opener himself opted out of playing the game, which the visitors’ need to win to draw the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series, and added that there was no selfishness behind it.
