"No Matter How Big A Player Is...": Harbhajan Singh's Honest Rohit Sharma Verdict

Former cricketer Harbhajan Singh opened up on India skipper Rohit Sharma's recent form and said that he needs to make runs, reported Star Sports. Travis Head's scintillating century at home, accompanied by brilliant bowling performances from Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins led Australia to a 10-wicket win at the Adelaide Oval in the second Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The victory also ensured Australia reclaimed their place atop the WTC25 standings.

His captaincy also became a hot topic of debate after his decision to bat under gloomy Bengaluru sky in the opening Test against New Zealand. The single decision saw India back in the dressing room with its lowest home total, 46.

Even in the recently concluded second Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia in Adelaide, Rohit scored just nine runs, including two innings.

Speaking exclusively to Star Sports, Harbhajan Singh said that Rohit will think better and do better things if he scores some runs. He also hoped that the India skipper would put some runs on the scoreboard soon.

"As a captain, I would like Rohit Sharma to make runs. When he scores runs, he will think better and do better things. No matter how big a player is, he is always worried about his performance. There is no doubt that when a player scores runs, he makes a better decision. So, let's hope that Rohit Sharma scores some runs so that his captaincy gets better," Harbhajan Singh was quoted by Star Sports as saying.

Recapping the Adelaide Test, India won the toss and opted to bat first. However, they had to face the wrath of a moving, erratic pink ball and its mastermind, Mitchell Starc (6/48). Except for a 69-run stand for the second wicket between KL Rahul (37 in 64 balls with six fours)
