Rohit Sharma Wanted To Retire, 'Well-Wishers' Stopped Him. Gautam Gambhir Was Unhappy: Report

Rohit Sharma's decision to sit out of the fifth India vs Australia Test led to a speculation over-drive on whether it was the end of the India captain's journey in Tests or not.

India have suffered two massive series losses in a matter of three months, being whitewashed 0-3 at home by New Zealand and then losing the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 3-1 in Australia. In this period, the disastrous form of senior stalwarts Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have raised several questions.

Manjrekar labelled India's slump 'inevitable' and blamed the 'hero-worshipping' in the country.

Virat Kohli Named As Suspect In "Mr. Fix-It" Row By Ex-India Teammate: "No Smoke..."

The recently-concluded Test series between India and Australia had its fair share of controversies with a number of them revolving around the Indian cricket team dressing room. With India losing the series 3-1 and failing to retain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy after 10 years, there were many reports of a rift in the team and skipper Rohit Sharma's lack of form did not help matters. A report in the Indian Express claimed that a senior player, who called himself "Mr. Fix-It" pitched himself as an interim captain. Former India star Robin Uthappa took to social media to criticise the unnamed cricketer for taking a selfish stand. In a recent interview, he broke his silence on the rant and explained what he felt about the matter.

Ex-Australia Captain Gives Team India Winning Recipe For England Tour, Makes Bold 'Virat Kohli' Verdict

Virat Kohli's wretched run of form and his constant weakness playing deliveries outside the off-stump have been hot topics of conversation in the cricket world for many weeks now.

Such has been his downfall that question marks have also arisen over whether he should even be a part of India's Test squad to England in June. For former Australia World Cup-winning captain Michael Clarke, there is only one answer to that question.
