"Pathetic, Never Happened In History": Ex-BCCI Selector Brutally Roasts Rohit Sharma

Former BCCI chief selector MSK Prasad has criticised India captain Rohit Sharma for his captaincy and batting failures. Prasad's remarks came while on commentary duty during Day 2 of the ongoing 4th Test against Australia, with Rohit registering another low score in India's first innings. Rohit managed just three runs as he was dismissed by opposition captain Pat Cummins for the fifth time in his Test career. Prasad, who was part of the selection committee from September 2016 to March 2020, also said that Rohit has not been "proactive" as a captain too, labelling India's recent series lost to New Zealand as "pathetic".
