Gautam Gambhir Rejected Request To Keep Rohit Sharma In Playing XI For 5th Australia Test: Report
Indian cricket team skipper Rohit Sharma is all set to be rested for the fifth Test encounter against Australia starting Thursday in Sydney, according to sources. It has been a torrid run for Rohit in the ongoing five-match series as the star batter has managed to score just 31 runs in the past three matches. Despite multiple changes to his batting position, Rohit was unable to score big for his side and he is likely to be replaced by Shubman Gill in the playing XI for the Sydney Test. According to a report by PTI, Gambhir received a request from an ' influential cricket administrator' to keep Rohit in the playing XI but it was rejected as the game holds significance for India's World Test Championship (WTC) Final hopes.
