New Delhi: Rohit Sharma’s decision to sit outside the Sydney test against Australia in January this year has evoked a widespread discussion among fans. Later he explained that his choice was rooted in his faith, that the team would put a team in front of personal milestones – a principle that stands strongly. Rohit tolerated a difficult run in Trophy Border-Gavascar, which India lost 3-1, and controlled an average of only 6.20 in five shifts.With regard to his poor form, Rohit decided to retreat for the final test in Sydney and handed over the duties of Captain Jasprit Bumrah.The veteran opener announced his retirement from the test cricket last week and concluded a chapter on a career with a red ball that began with a debut century against Western India in Kolkata in 2013. 4 301 runs out of 67 tests on an average of 40.57, including 12 centuries and 18 centuries. As a captain he led Rohit India in 24 tests, won 12 and lost nine.At the beginning of June 2024, Rohit also called time for his T20i career after leaving India to the seven running victory over the South Africa in the final of the T20 World Championship from 2024.

Meanwhile, the former head coach of India Ravi Shastri revealed that he would rather see Rohit the Sydney test. Shastri spoke of an ICC review with the hostess Sanjan Ganesan and before his retirement, he told about an interview with Rohit during the IPL match.“I saw Rohit a lot of throwing. You don’t have enough time to talk. Although I put my hand on my shoulder in one of the games,” Shastri recalled.“I think it was in Mumbai and I told him if I were a coach, you would never play the last test match. You’d play the last test match because the series didn’t finish.”“And I’m not someone who threw a towel with a score of 2-1. If your thinking is, you feel like you are … it’s not a scene, you’re leaving the team.”Rohit’s battles with BAT were evident in his last eight tests, including the home series against Bangladesh and New Zealand, where he managed to exceed 50 only once and on 10.93.

Shastri thought about the Sydney test and said, “That was a game of 30-40 running. And that’s exactly what I told him. The playground was so spicy in Sydney. Whatever form, it’s the winner.”“If he left, sensed the situation, sensed the condition and broke it even 35-40 upstairs, you never know. This series would be a level. But it is each of his own.”“Other people have different styles. That would be my style and I let him know. It has long been sitting in my heart. I had to get it out. And I told him.”
