"Probably Seen Rohit Sharma For Last Time...": Sunil Gavaskar Feels It's Game Over For India Star In Tests

Game over for Rohit Sharma in Tests? Well, Sunil Gavaskar thinks so. The official word from the India camp is that Rohit 'opted to rest' from the India vs Australia 5th Test in Sydney. But, 'resting' or 'rested' in Indian cricket often leaves the room for many interpretation. Rohit Sharma was not having a great run since landing in Australia. In his five innings in the Border Gavaskar Trophy, Rohit score only 31 runs. After missing the first Test in Perth due to personal reasons, Rohit batted in the middle order in the second and third Tests. He returned to opening in the fourth Test but failed to score big.

Pant said that he did not hear what Konstas exactly said to Bumrah but commented that the Australia youngster wanted to waste time in order to prevent India from bowling another over on Day 1 of the must-win encounter.

Horrific Collision Rocks Big Bash League. Australia Star Stretchered Off - Video

A nasty collision between Australian cricketers Daniel Sams and Cameron Bancroft took place during Sydney Thunder's Big Bash League (BBL) match against Perth Scorchers at Optus Stadium in Perth on Friday. The collision was so severe that both the players had to be hospitalised. While one of them went off the ground suffering a bleeding nose, the other one was stretchered off after losing his consciousness. The incident took place in the 16th over of the Scorchers' innings. Cooper Connolly mistimed a fuller ball around the mid-wicket region and that is where Sams and Bancroft ran to take the catch. While both of them converged for the catch, they failed to notice each other and this led to a severe collision.

Hardik Pandya To Lead India In Champions Trophy? Report Makes Shocking Claim

India skipper Rohit Sharma's decision to skip the fifth Test against Australia in Sydney raised many questions on his future in the longest format. In the final match of the five-match series, star Jasprit Bumrah was named as the stand-in skipper of India. Earlier in the opening Test in Perth, India won by 10 wickets under the captaincy of Bumrah. In the ongoing series, Rohit struggled to get runs as he scored only 31 runs in five innings. As there no certainty regarding his future in Tests, a new report also suggested Rohit's captaincy snub from the upcoming Champions Trophy.

Star India batter Virat Kohli survived a first-ball duck on Day 1 of the series-deciding Sydney Test against Australia on Friday.

How Decision To 'Rest' Rohit Sharma From 5th Test vs Australia Was Taken: Report Claims Inside Details

Rohit Sharma getting 'rested' from the fifth India vs Australia Test in Sydney has probably started a chain of events in Indian cricket that will take a long time to settle down. At 37, with India's next Test series over five months away, Rohit may have played his last Test match. When Rohit, Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja retired from T20Is after the T20 world Cup, it set in motion the transition phase of Indian cricket.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has informed Rohit Sharma that he is no longer a part of their plans for Test cricket after the ongoing series against Australia, according to a report by the Indian Express. India have a tough road ahead when it comes to qualifying for the World Test Championship (WTC) Final and the report claims that if India manage to reach the summit clash, they will be captained by Jasprit Bumrah.
