Indian team head coach Gautam Gambhir on Sunday talked about the future of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. After losing by 6 wickets in the Sydney Test, he said- ‘I cannot comment on the future of any player. It depends on the players, their (Rohit-Kohli) hunger and commitments. It is expected that he will make every possible effort to take Indian cricket forward. He was asked a question on the future of Rohit-Kohli.
Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli performed poorly in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. In such a situation, questions are being raised on the future of these two. A day ago, Rohit Sharma had said in an interview given to Star Sports that he wants to play and is not taking retirement yet. Rohit was dropped from the Sydney Test due to poor form.
After losing the match, Gambhir said- Rohit has shown accountability.
What did Gambhir say on which issue…?
1. On defeat…if we had scored 250-275 in the second innings, things would have been different On the defeat in the Sydney Test, Gambhir said- ‘I do not want to say that due to the absence of Bumrah we could not reach the result. We had our moments, it would have been good if Bumrah was there. A good team has won. Which is not dependent on just one player. If we had batted well in the second innings and set a target of 250-275 runs, things could have become difficult for Australia. Mohammed Siraj’s body language was excellent.
2. On the atmosphere in the dressing room…I have to be fair to everyone To keep the dressing room happy I have to be honest and fair to everyone. If I am transparent with one or two players. So this is not my job. My job is to be equal with everyone. Be it a debutant or a player who has played 100 tests.
3. On the form of Rohit-Kohli…all players should play domestic cricket On the form of big players like Rohit-Kohli, Gambhir clearly said that he would like all the players to play domestic cricket if they are committed to Test cricket. He was probably referring to the senior players who do not play Ranji Trophy.
4. Responsibility has been shown on Rohit’s decision… On Rohit’s decision to drop himself, Gambhir said that Rohit has shown accountability at the top level. On the question of transition, he said – it is too early to talk about it. Don’t know where we will be after 5 months.
