The playing-11 of any Test team starts with the captain. Then the remaining players are selected. But, the situation of the Indian team before the Sydney Test is the opposite. The first name of Team India has not been decided in this match against Australia starting from January 3.
On Thursday, Indian coach Gautam Gambhir was asked about Rohit Sharma playing the Sydney Test, but Gambhir did not give a direct answer. He simply said, ‘Playing-11 will be decided after seeing the pitch.’ Apart from Gambhir’s answer, indications of this were clearly visible in the training session of Team India.
At present, the Indian team is trailing 1-2 in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The team has to play the last match of the 5-match series in Sydney from January 3.
3 points; Which is indicating that Rohit will not play…
1. Rohit sat alone in the dressing room Rohit Sharma looked isolated from the team in the team’s training session before the match. He sat alone in the dressing room. He was seen talking to Bumrah for a long time. Rohit came very late to practice.
2. Gambhir seen talking to Bumrah-Agarkar Head coach Gautam Gambhir and Ajit Agarkar were seen talking to Jasprit Bumrah in training. After this Bumrah asked Shubman Gill to do the nets. During this period, Rohit Sharma also kept netting.
3. Instead of Rohit, Gill trained in slip fielding. In place of Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill practiced fielding in slip. Usually, during matches, Rohit Sharma is seen fielding at slip along with Yashasvi and Virat.
Now a statement-
Irfan Pathan said- If Rohit had not been the captain, he would not have been in the team. Former fast bowler Irfan Pathan said on Rohit Sharma’s poor form-
‘If Rohit was not the captain, he would not have been in the team. A player, who has scored 20 thousand runs. Still, the way Rohit is struggling, it seems that his form is not supporting him. When what is happening is that he is the captain so he is playing. If he had not been the captain then perhaps he would not have been playing right now. You would have a fixed team.
Rohit’s captaincy is in question, many changes made in the batting order Questions are also being raised on Rohit’s captaincy in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. He was not a part of the Perth Test. After that Rohit batted at number-6 in Adelaide and Gabba Test, but failed. After that the captain returned to the opening position in the Melbourne Test, but could not score runs.
Rohit, struggling with poor form, could score only 31 runs in BGT-2024. Indian captain Rohit Sharma has been a flop in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. He could score only 31 runs in 5 innings of 3 Tests. His average has been 6.20. Rohit Sharma is in the last tour of his career. In the year 2024, he has been able to score only 131 runs at an average of 24.76.
Dhoni left the captaincy after the defeat in Melbourne 11 years ago in 2014, MS Dhoni’s captaincy also ended in Melbourne. He had announced his retirement after the Melbourne Test.
