Rohit Sharma 'Dropped' Not 'Opted To Rest': Gautam Gambhir's Team India Slammed By Great

Several experts were taken aback after India skipper Rohit Sharma 'opted out' of the Playing XI for the fifth Test against Australia in Sydney on Friday. India are being led by star pacer Jasprit Bumrah for the final Test of the five-match series. The hosts have already gained an unassailable 2-1 lead after winning the fourth match in Melbourne by 184 runs. Rohit was facing severe criticism for his poor leadership and batting skills from many former cricketers and fans. Under Bumrah's captaincy, India won the opening Test by 10 wickets and he was handed over the job again for the final game.

"Rohit Sharma Not All-time Great To...": Sanjay Manjrekar On 'Mystery' Around Star's Absence, Questions Ravi Shastri

Rohit Sharma's absence from India's XI against Australia for the fifth Test of the Border Gavaskar Trophy probably started a new chapter in Indian cricket. After suffering from a poor run of form, Sharma decided to opt out of the Sydney Test. This is probably the first instance of an Indian captain dropping himself from the playing XI owing to poor form, according to Sunil Gavaskar. However, former India star Sanjay Manjrekar, part of the commentary panel for the official broadcasters, was intrigued that there was so little spoken about Rohit's absence at the toss.

End Of Rohit Sharma, The Test Cricketer? What 'Opting To Rest' From Do-Or-Die 5th Test vs Australia Means For India Star's Future

Is Rohit Sharma's journey as an Indian cricket team Test star over? After he 'opted to rest' (in stand-in captain Jasprit Bumrah's words) from the India vs Australia 5th Test in Sydney, all indications point towards one direction: We may have seen the last of Rohit Sharma in India Test whites. From the time India coach Gautam Gambhir remained non-committal about the place of Rohit Sharma in India playing XI in the pre-match press conference on Thursday morning, the rumours had started gathering pace. By evening, sources told NDTV that Rohit Sharma would be rested and Jasprit Bumrah would be the captain. On Friday morning, all rumours were officially confirmed.

It's official now. Rohit Sharma is not playing the fifth India vs Australia Test in Sydney. Jasprit Bumrah, who had led India to victory in the first Test of the five-match series in Perth, walked out for the toss along with Australia captain Pat Cummins in Sydney on Friday morning. Surprisingly, Bumrah was not asked in details about Rohit Sharma's absence by commentator and former India coach Ravi Shastri. Later, visuals showed Rohit having a light chat with India coach Gautam Gambhir.

India vs Australia 5th Test Live Streaming, Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024/25 Live Telecast: When And Where To Watch

India vs Australia 5th Test Live Streaming and Live Telecast: It will be a do-or-die game for the Indian cricket team when it faces Australia in the fifth and final Test match at the Sydney Cricket Ground. The touring side started the series with a stunning 295-run victory but failed to maintain the dominance and went on to lose two of the next three matches. While star players Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli failed with the bat, India's bowlers, barring the mesmerising Jasprit Bumrah, too have had a poor outing. As things stand now, India trail 1-2 in the five-match series and they need to win the final game to keep their World Test Championship Final hopes alive.

"Rohit Sharma Addressed The Media...": Sunil Gavaskar Gives Fresh Twist To 'Rift' Rumours

On the first day of the New Year, several reports emerged that claimed there are rifts in the Indian dressing room. It happened right after India's 184-run defeat to Australia in the Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Head coach Gautam Gambhir is believed to have said, "Bahut ho gaya (I've had enough) in his dressing room speech, with the dressing room environment being 'far from ideal'. While reacting to such reports, former India captain Sunil Gavaskar said that these all stories are cooked by media to keep the fans and their users engaged. He backed his opinion by saying that such stories emerge only after India lose a match.

"Rohit Sharma Should Fight...": Ex-India Star's Big Message Amid 'Retirement' Talk

Ahead of the fifth and final Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024 at the Sydney Cricket Ground between Australia and India, former all-rounder Irfan Pathan shared his thoughts on skipper Rohit Sharma's retirement after the completion of the ongoing series. "In my personal opinion, Rohit Sharma should fight out this phase. I don't want him to walk out of this. He has done enough for Indian cricket, and I am sure he has the ability to turn this around. This is the last and crucial test match of the series, and experience should come in handy. Whatever decisions required to be made should come out after the series," Irfan Pathan wrote in a post on X.

"Rohit Sharma Has Earned Right To...": Ex-Australia Skipper Delivers Sensational Verdict

Former Australia captain Michael Clarke says India skipper Rohit Sharma has earned the right to walk away from Test cricket on his own terms notwithstanding his barren run with the bat Down Under. Pressure has been gradually building on Rohit who is yet to play a knock of significance in the three Tests he has played so far in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Another stalwart in the team, Virat Kohli, is also facing the heat for repeatedly falling to balls outside the off-stump in the series. "You see that with a number of players -- to some people the captaincy helps for others it doesn't. I certainly think he'll plat at Sydney. I don't think they'll drop him. I think Rohit has earned the right and he's captain. When you are captain you get a little more leeway as well," Clarke told ESPN ahead of the fifth Test beginning on Friday.
