Should have announce Retirement on 29th eve Like what Dhoni did back then He should hand over captaincy to Bumrah for last and Final test of BGT in Sydney
Even if he scores, he’s lost his place as captain-not due to results, but because India isn’t competing under him in tests. Bumrah’s performance and captaincy in the Perth Test strengthens his case as a captain.
I think Bumrah also should retire otherwise he gets injured and will be out of cricket for long......how long and how many times he should play as a lone warrior without any support at all from other end??? One person cannot win you matches evrytime and what the rest of 10 players contributing to the game?????? I guess BUMRAH should say good bye to National team as National Team is clueless and not sure why are continuing with walking wickets and out of touch old horses(Rohit, Virat etc)
Well said Pankaj!!! Many feel the same way abt Bumrah being the captain. Keeping Rohit was a poor choice, most knew it then, and it unfolded just that way. Rohit has spoilt the image of India, by playing that kind of cricket.
If Rohit flops in 2nd innings of MCG test he should gracefully retire so that Bumrah can lead the team in 2025 to a winning start at SCG and level series 2-2
What do you mean by if he flops He has been atrocious and the odd innings here and there must not let him get off the hook I don’t care if he scores in the second innings this is a batter friendly pitch and he should be scoring the way he got out in the first innings was infuriating he should retire after this series regardless of what happens so that a proper rebuild can happen preferably he should retire after this test match
I agree with @VaisakhVs-up2vt. He's 'flopped' too much now. No good innings should be able to save him now. But still, India will still probably pick him.
if retirement is too big a decision for Rohit to make, he can leave the captaincy after Champions Trophy from all formats of the game and give fair chance to the selectors to choose among younger lot
Dhoni is very good reader of the game he knew when to step down .. Rohit need to do the same if he has some shame left. Or if he plays shamelessly he definitely should leave the captaincy or should be sacked from the captaincy roll in this format. I think nobody will disagree to my point, until he's blind just like Rohit.
His performance in next three innings cannot justify what he did in past. Whenever him and and rohit are scared of being dropped from team , they steal runs here and there and influence the selectors to hold them. The selectors should no more be folled by these dhoni men and should be thrown out from all formats asap
Rohith should announce his retirement post sydney test. Even he scored 3 consecutive centuries or Double centuries in coming innings, then also rohith should announce his retirement. It will give Rohith a good farewell with pride. Its already over for Rohith, now its needed to end the test career in a happy note
The frame of mind he is in at the minute, his statement would be: "I will come here to Aus in 4 years to see if I can find my feet then!! Am sorry to all who got nothing out of me this time around". The problem with players these days is that "All or Nothing" approach to batting forgetting the fact that there is something called strike rotation in Test cricket to gain confidence and form!! Thats the reason why Pujara was so successfull to grind and pick up runs when the opportunity presented.
How Ashwin gently announced his retirement Even though he is great form. That is real spirit of person our captain Rohit Sharma i will play until My age of 40. Rahane, pujara, Hanuman vighari, All them out of indian team because not in good form. What about Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma both of them still in the team. After BGT India management take Harsh decision selectors gave chance to Young players under Jasprit Bumrah captaincy.
Rohit and Virat not just failed 8 test matches buts its 8x2 = 16 innings. Not to forget another 3 tests before these where he failed also. So total 24 innings he failed with batting average of 18+. No Indian batsmen been given so many chances with a hope he will shine. So country knowingly should NOT give him another test match in Sydney. Both NEEDS TO BE DROPPED OR ANNOUNCE RETIREMENT after this MCG Test so that bench can be tested in Sydney like Sarfaraz. BOTTOM POINT PEROFRMANCE STATS MATTER but not past reputation excuses. 2. Gill omission is GOOD DECISION. Bcoz no youngster been given so many chances like this guy. In 50 matches he averages 34. KL Rahil is also same bucket 3. When Sehwag. Shreyas, Laxman were dropped in middle of series bvoz of failures in 8 innings why Rohit, Virat, KL Rahiul , Gill needs to be given such long rope 4. Finally Siraj also needs to be dropped permanetely. He has only 8 wickets in last 15 innings
It’s a bit weird, because he was playing quite well up until the Eng series early in the year. Then he obviously had a fab T20 WC, and he was India’s only performing batsman in the SL ODI series. Then his form has just nosedived. He can’t have slowed down in hand eye coordination in just a few months. Something is messed up in his mind. But it’s looking really bad.
@@nikunjdixit3225 But u combined results of T20 and ODI with Test, both are different formats from Tests. thats why hardik and suryakumar not playing in test side. Rohit was not in Indian test team early in his career like Virat.
Rohit Sharma needs to play an innings of many many balls. It does not matter how many runs he scores. Long innings will be a boooooost to his confidence. Right now the mental picture in his mind is that of small scores in last 10+ innings and his heart wants to break that fact into pieces from a big score. He should play a long long innings balls wise to give himself a confidence that if I stick it out then they can't get my wicket. Bottomline is to defend the good balls, strike the weak ones and let go of those out of reach. This is test match not ODI so take your time. Ravi Shastri had wrong advice that Rohit should counterattack the bowlers n get on top of them. Counterattack puts probabilities of mistakes on the high and that's wat happened today. Btw, give Rohit some good free time and consults to figure things out. Good 2 to 3 years of test cricket left in both Rohit n Kolhi. Kolhi has figured out his weakness over outside off but fell to it due to tremor in the mind from the run out wicket before. Also, 5th test, captaincy should be given to Bumrah. Bowlers or allrounders make better captains.
Rohit could drop himself for the Sydney test, and give Gill one more chance. A youngster needs to be backed, just to be consistent with their approach (of preferring Washington over Ashwin at Perth).
Rohit sharma and virat kohli shouldn't be selected for test matches again if they are not retiring after this BGT series.. Nothing is going to happen if these two players are not in the team..
This RoKo Clown performance is getting better every match. Ro is inventing new pull drive shots and getting out whereas the other clown is now getting out 7th, 8th , 9th stump line plus running out well set partners
Being a Team India fan, even though Virat played well today, if India fail to qualify for the WTC Final in 2025, I don't see Virat and Rohit playing Test Cricket for India again. Both of them have 3 innings left to make a statement. I don't see them getting picked for the 2025 home test series against England. They might just retire. Their performance since the New Zealand series has not been good.
Let's face it.....Both Harsha & DK are not known for "calling a spade,a spade". It's there, in every walk of our lives.... look at the way common men are made to wait for hours, just to let the so called VIPs make their way. It happened before too .... Kapil Dev's career was extended at the expense of fiery fast bowler, Javgal Srinath......Rahul Dravid went up & down just to save someone's place......even Sachin had an extended career......but will some body speak......for the sake of Indian cricket. Why a resilient, skillful, focused K L Rahul, pushed down again to no. 3..... No, this isn't how leaders lead.......!
Feels like watching indian cricket fading away without rohit and virat it's incomplete but if he is going to retire i want him to play like as we all know him " HITMEN " I hope in coming three innings play as much good as he forget about his retirement Sound tough but miracles happen no one knows what will happen Tommorow
Virat had brought in a killer mentality . Rohit has with his chaltha hai attitude made this team a bit lackadaisical. Please bring Dravid Back as coach at least for TESTS
Rohit has 3 innings to find his form. Captaincy can be given to bumrah. The shots Virat Kohli played showed glimpses of his class. In my opinion,that’s a sign he is coming back to form. Since he is fit,he should play for 2 years more. Go India! Go Virat! Us fabs should not pressurise our players . After all,selectors don’t care about the opinions we give on social media
Let Gill play in sydney. At least young player will learn something. Let Bumrah captain. Atleast he will gain captaincy experience. Nothing can be gained by Rohit's inclusion at sydney.
I dont think that Rohit should retire, its just a hard phase of his international carrer. Please give him some time and peace of mind, I am pretty sure, he will excel. He is a real match winner. He can take the game away from any opposition at any given point of time. I am sure, he will mount up with wings like eagle very soon.
Why only Rohit? Also, look at the stats of Virat for the last 4/5 years in tests. Below par. Jaddu has better avg. than both last 4/5 years. Virat's career avg has dropped drastically.
This simple exercise of looking at the stats would have been done long back. No one deserves a place in the team with those numbers. Already a lot of matches are lost.
Not 3, he has just one more innings to save his face. His arrogance wrt to attack approach is the reason for downfall. We won last 2 tours because of pujara,pant and bumrah and remove pujara from equation, we dont even compete in batting.
If this is how things continue, Australia will this series 3-1. Rohit Sharma should hand over the captaincy to Bumrah for the Sydney test. Very poor captaincy.
Rohit and Virat needs to retire or dropped from 5th test. There buddy Siraj needs to be dropped too, Pant needs to be dropped for playing such a irresponsible shot. lets play the 5th test with youngsters
@@TamilVazhga2026 Manjrekar for one. Then we have the standard media who will never criticize him. Kohli got criticized even when he was keeping the team in winning positions.
@@CakeorDeath420 looks like BCCI have no fears and respect for game and cricket fans ? If yes, we can safely call Rohit is a SCAM … thought GG will have influence over right thing
@@TamilVazhga2026 BCCI went where they thought the money was. Which is why we tweaked for white ball trophies. And lost the red ball game as a result. Rohit is not test material. His captaincy has been shoddy at best. 2 years ago, he had massive fan support due to 5 plastic trophies and people hated on Kohli due to 0 wins for RCB (despite winning 3 test maces). That's it! Look at our test team now. Not even going to qualify for WTC. And there is still no criticism for Rohit in the media. They are all walking on egg shells.
Rohit’s lackluster performance is hurting the team both from a captaincy and a batter standpoint. He should take the higher road and make himself unavailable for the last test
Rahane didnt have a good PR, nor Rahane was flamboyant but his batting avg is greater than Rohit Sharma & he was a brilliant captain who won Bgt with debutants & t-20 players without peak form Kohli…
True! He was the Captain who led from the front when odds were heavily against the team and India got bowled out for 36 in previous match. He scored hundred in MCG and not only just won the match but also the series.
Retire as a Captain and Continue as Opener. No need to retire for one bad series. When he batter well in almost every match of T20 WC which we won, everyone praised. Now, with his failure everyone is criticising. Everything is temporary. If his form continues to be bad, then he himself will think to retire. Let's be just audience and enjoy Cricket. Happy new year in advance!
There's a need for criticism , at times a scathing one, in competitive sports, which helps teams reflect on their performance and improve. However, since the MSD era and the rise of IPL, this criticism has been suppressed. Instead of addressing the issues, the focus is diverted, and shortcomings are glossed over. The emphasis is on celebrating individual achievements, and critics, including commentators, are hesitant to speak out against big-name players. This reluctance to criticize can ultimately harm the team's performance.
India should look beyond Rohit and Virat, they seems to be extra baggage now, contributing with nothing. Our coach Gautam Gambhir should also has his days numbered.
What about Pant ?? pant thinks he is superstar like srk and public only wants item blockbuster Numbers from him. No. Public wants Nitish and jurel style commitment and run building. Pant is an arrogant egotistical superstar and we can’t afford him specially when top order is failing.
The only statement Rohit and Virat need to make after Australian series iscto take retirement.They no longer have skills hunger or execution.Both are burden including Siraj on the Indian team.
Why wait till SCG to retire? Why waste one important match in an important series? This is not right. No man is more important than the team. And it has and never will be like that in Indian cricket
He should leave captaincy for sure. But about retirement, If he performs atleast 2 out of 3 innings.. Then he can play next WTC cycle.(without any captaincy pressure)
I would like to see upper age limit set up for Test Cricket by ICC and the respective boards. Test cricket is more of a physically demanding format that will also lead to mental toughness. So players above the age 35 should not be allowed to continue regardless of their legacy in the game, which would help the budding aspirants go to the next level. May be those exceptional players above that age of 35 can be allowed to continue with their team as a support staff at the board's discretion. Else we will have to deal with Rohit Sharmas and VKs at the fag end of their career
Rohit is not consistent in test format & he failed to score outside india. He never deserve to be a part of indian test squad , harshji agree with you . Rohit should be given chance in sydney so we can loose bgt by 3-1 & will get good reason to force him to retire
They are making a lot of statement on and off the field, but not the one with the bat. When will they retire? When Sachin and MSD went, I was sad. When these two go, I'll be happy.
DK... the answer we need was how long rope now Rohit has? But you went on your own way to explain the shot played by Rohit in a philosophical cheesy eloquent no harm cover up way for almost 70% of this video. C'mon man.
Time for Rohit and Virat to say goodbye after this series - in the last 5 years Virat has 3 centuries and Rohit has 6/7 and that too match winning not like Virat - someone is scoring so I will also make use of it on a flat track
Let Rohith to retire man because of him other 2 batsmen are getting destroyed (Rahul & Gill). And top of that such a defensive field set & he is clueless.
Rohit has a failure mindset. His field placements are below par. He is not confident of facing Aussie bowlers. It is not the problem with his skills. Not in good spirits for sure.
Seriously this guy has no feelings for team India or what? It hurts me a lot to see India losing all its matches (in real effect playing)with only 9 players in the team since the Sri Lanka tour from when India has lost almost all its matches under Rohit's captaincy. The win against a weak Bangladesh cannot be taken too seriously. Harsha has the audacity to say Rohit has three more innings left to prove himself after a string of batting and captaincy failures. Even if Rohit scores runs which he will not, it is too late for him to redeem himself after the serious damage he has caused to team India. How many failures are two individual players allowed to make when the country is so rich in young batting talent. Shame on you Harsha.
The comments below are clear. Dont know why, what the compulsions, are they too close to Rohit etc otherwise these 2 esteemed India commentators have so many years of experience and yet are not able to clearly say that Rohit abhi ho gaya dont hang on till Sydney. Gracefully come out and you will be respected more that you let India a fighting chance for Sydney by stepping out of the team.
Rohit's Technique, Temperament, Tenacity, Technology & Tiredness is on ZERO level for over 10-15 test innings now. Loves pavilion time more than crease time. Laughable for an accidental professional. Surprising BCCI too is sleeping. Are we going to applaud one 50+ in remaining 3 innings & do media hype again or too much to expect from both Rohit & VK.
Age 38 no feet movement out of form as captain as well as batsman Rohit Sharma then why both of you talk about which shot paly not to play. Totally unfair arguments thats your Job
Rohit sharma has made a career out of being aggressive batting.I dont know why he is going defencive mindset.thats not his strength.Just go out and make 50 out of 20 /30 balls. Virender shewag was also made to defend-no luck remember.
Rohit is not a test batsman. He is lucky to get into test team because of poor team selectors and poor test coach. Team india wasted a good series by noncompetancy to fight in every session due to poor captaincy and coaching. Recruit some good test players in world as coach
I think it’s high time for Rohit to retire from cricket. Last 8 matches only 155 runs with average of 19 runs for a test match. Not even 10 runs for an innings. Waste of giving one more chance for the Sydney test.
Leave alone his dismal batting display so far, his captaincy is so pathetic and pretty much reactive at times, defensive when its not required!! He won 52% off games under his captaincy in Tests mostly here in India which any captain would have done!!
3 innings to prove. Come on Harsha. You are very soft on luxury players. His average on last 10 innings is 11.30 and still you say that he got 3 innings to prove. Prove what? I have always been an admirer of you in cricket commentary. But off late, I am seeing that you are very soft on players like Rohit and Virat. Why? You know better than us what leadership is. Could Rohit set an example as a leader for the team in the last 5-6 test matches he played? Would Nitish Reddy have got these many chances had he flopped in Perth? As per your thoughts, if Rohit deserves 13-14 innings to prove his worth, then you should advocate the same for other players. Then it is fair. But, by that time, we, as ardent cricket fans of this country, loses inspiration to watch this beautiful game. Show guts to criticize if needed. Look at Mr.Gavaskar's comment on Rishab's dismissal. "Stupid stupid stupid". That is real. No fancy words, straight from heart. Because Rishab let the team down.
Doesn't really matters if he fires in remaining 3 innings how can the fitment rope for a player be extended till this point no clue no justification pathetic
Not even watching the video. Just here for the comments. So disappointing to see India in this state. India test team was fire when Kohli was the captain. BCCI fked it up for some ICC trophies because our stupid fans wanted it on the basis of Rohit's 5 plastic trophies. These very fans were criticizing Kohli and now look where it got us. We have lost our Test team. For what? A cheap T20WC. Kohli gave us 3 test maces. Fan pressure and BCCI ruined test cricket for us. Rohit should retire. He was never a test player, leave alone a test captain.
Mr. Sharma has single handedly destroyed test cricket scene since becoming captain, even 99's Sachin was not this clueless. Getting him quietly into test side as a batsman at number 6 (over likes of Karun etc.) by Shastri was questionable itself. But then what conspired later with him being the captain has to go down in the recent history as one of the biggest blunders. These on-payroll "experts" and his in-house PR team haven't helped the matters either. Hope this misery ends soon!
I think he should have this test last chance and then get benched for the last match against Australia. Bumrah should be the Captain for the last test match. Quit with the little dignity that he has.

Should have announce Retirement on 29th eve
Like what Dhoni did back then
He should hand over captaincy to Bumrah for last and Final test of BGT in Sydney
Bumrah cannot become captain due to fitness issues. He never plays tests in India
Even if he scores, he’s lost his place as captain-not due to results, but because India isn’t competing under him in tests. Bumrah’s performance and captaincy in the Perth Test strengthens his case as a captain.

Who are those Mumbai lobby scammers. Wish to know their names
@@TamilVazhga2026 Manjrekar for one. Then we have the standard media who will never criticize him. Kohli got criticized even when he was keeping the team in winning positions.
@@CakeorDeath420 looks like BCCI have no fears and respect for game and cricket fans ? If yes, we can safely call Rohit is a SCAM … thought GG will have influence over right thing
@@TamilVazhga2026 BCCI went where they thought the money was. Which is why we tweaked for white ball trophies. And lost the red ball game as a result. Rohit is not test material. His captaincy has been shoddy at best. 2 years ago, he had massive fan support due to 5 plastic trophies and people hated on Kohli due to 0 wins for RCB (despite winning 3 test maces). That's it! Look at our test team now. Not even going to qualify for WTC. And there is still no criticism for Rohit in the media. They are all walking on egg shells.
Rohit’s lackluster performance is hurting the team both from a captaincy and a batter standpoint. He should take the higher road and make himself unavailable for the last test
Rahane didnt have a good PR, nor Rahane was flamboyant but his batting avg is greater than Rohit Sharma & he was a brilliant captain who won Bgt with debutants & t-20 players without peak form Kohli…
True! He was the Captain who led from the front when odds were heavily against the team and India got bowled out for 36 in previous match. He scored hundred in MCG and not only just won the match but also the series.
His batting average is less than 39. What are you even talking about?? Rohit averages 41+
What happen to hitman😢😢 i never saw hitman like this 😢😢 and my dream is to see virat and hitman partnership in test CRICKET 😢😢😢😢
Retire as a Captain and Continue as Opener. No need to retire for one bad series. When he batter well in almost every match of T20 WC which we won, everyone praised. Now, with his failure everyone is criticising. Everything is temporary. If his form continues to be bad, then he himself will think to retire. Let's be just audience and enjoy Cricket. Happy new year in advance!
If India lose this series,4 greats should retire including Ashwin,being Rohit,Kohli,Jadeja.End of an era.😮
There's a need for criticism , at times a scathing one, in competitive sports, which helps teams reflect on their performance and improve. However, since the MSD era and the rise of IPL, this criticism has been suppressed. Instead of addressing the issues, the focus is diverted, and shortcomings are glossed over. The emphasis is on celebrating individual achievements, and critics, including commentators, are hesitant to speak out against big-name players. This reluctance to criticize can ultimately harm the team's performance.
India should look beyond Rohit and Virat, they seems to be extra baggage now, contributing with nothing. Our coach Gautam Gambhir should also has his days numbered.
What about Pant ??
pant thinks he is superstar like srk and public only wants item blockbuster Numbers from him. No. Public wants Nitish and jurel style commitment and run building. Pant is an arrogant egotistical superstar and we can’t afford him specially when top order is failing.
Pant ain’t no superstar buddy
The only statement Rohit and Virat need to make after Australian series iscto take retirement.They no longer have skills hunger or execution.Both are burden including Siraj on the Indian team.
Why wait till SCG to retire? Why waste one important match in an important series? This is not right. No man is more important than the team. And it has and never will be like that in Indian cricket
Omg , do we have to wait another 3 innings?? What about the batsman on the tour ?😮
Feel sad for rohit sharma but hoping that some thing good will happen for him, always support rohit sharma❤
He should leave captaincy for sure.
But about retirement,
If he performs atleast 2 out of 3 innings..
Then he can play next WTC cycle.(without any captaincy pressure)
I would like to see upper age limit set up for Test Cricket by ICC and the respective boards. Test cricket is more of a physically demanding format that will also lead to mental toughness. So players above the age 35 should not be allowed to continue regardless of their legacy in the game, which would help the budding aspirants go to the next level.
May be those exceptional players above that age of 35 can be allowed to continue with their team as a support staff at the board's discretion. Else we will have to deal with Rohit Sharmas and VKs at the fag end of their career
Nowadays indian team is losing because of kohli and rohit. Moreover there many bowlers far more better than siraj.
Why nobody is raising finger toward chokli. He also has been Flopped since last 4 years. But nobody is saying him to step down
Rohit is not consistent in test format & he failed to score outside india. He never deserve to be a part of indian test squad , harshji agree with you . Rohit should be given chance in sydney so we can loose bgt by 3-1 & will get good reason to force him to retire
Only statement Rohit and Virat could make is , their retirement call. They have nothing left in the tank
He never was a test match player…forced on to us and social media glorified him too.
CRICKET good luck all of you in my country and all countries
CRICKET best of luck all of you in my country and all countries
They are making a lot of statement on and off the field, but not the one with the bat. When will they retire? When Sachin and MSD went, I was sad. When these two go, I'll be happy.
DK... the answer we need was how long rope now Rohit has? But you went on your own way to explain the shot played by Rohit in a philosophical cheesy eloquent no harm cover up way for almost 70% of this video. C'mon man.
Time for Rohit and Virat to say goodbye after this series - in the last 5 years Virat has 3 centuries and Rohit has 6/7 and that too match winning not like Virat - someone is scoring so I will also make use of it on a flat track
What about before those 5 years what was kohli record then
Rohit Sharma is not Ready to occupy the crease and spend some time. He must stay for at least 10 overs
Let Rohith to retire man because of him other 2 batsmen are getting destroyed (Rahul & Gill). And top of that such a defensive field set & he is clueless.
Three innings too many, time to give the opportunity to a youngster, even if he fails it will be an opportunity to learn
How much test cricket have you played DK sir?
You just can't hear anything about your idol when you know he is saying the truth
How much U played cricket bkl
kohli and rohit test average in 2024 is 25

Rohit has a failure mindset. His field placements are below par. He is not confident of facing Aussie bowlers. It is not the problem with his skills. Not in good spirits for sure.
Rohit was beaten by the pace of that ball that's why the shot looked awkward, but maybe he has a few more matches in him
Maybe in the IPL with mumbai taporis or whatever that team is.
He still has something left? Wow.

No more statements needed from Rohit and Virat. Let them retire
Seriously this guy has no feelings for team India or what? It hurts me a lot to see India losing all its matches (in real effect playing)with only 9 players in the team since the Sri Lanka tour from when India has lost almost all its matches under Rohit's captaincy. The win against a weak Bangladesh cannot be taken too seriously. Harsha has the audacity to say Rohit has three more innings left to prove himself after a string of batting and captaincy failures. Even if Rohit scores runs which he will not, it is too late for him to redeem himself after the serious damage he has caused to team India. How many failures are two individual players allowed to make when the country is so rich in young batting talent. Shame on you Harsha.
The comments below are clear. Dont know why, what the compulsions, are they too close to Rohit etc otherwise these 2 esteemed India commentators have so many years of experience and yet are not able to clearly say that Rohit abhi ho gaya dont hang on till Sydney. Gracefully come out and you will be respected more that you let India a fighting chance for Sydney by stepping out of the team.
Rohit's Technique, Temperament, Tenacity, Technology & Tiredness is on ZERO level for over 10-15 test innings now. Loves pavilion time more than crease time. Laughable for an accidental professional. Surprising BCCI too is sleeping. Are we going to applaud one 50+ in remaining 3 innings & do media hype again or too much to expect from both Rohit & VK.
Age 38 no feet movement out of form as captain as well as batsman Rohit Sharma then why both of you talk about which shot paly not to play. Totally unfair arguments thats your Job
So should Kohli !
Rohit sharma has made a career out of being aggressive batting.I dont know why he is going defencive mindset.thats not his strength.Just go out and make 50 out of 20 /30 balls. Virender shewag was also made to defend-no luck remember.
Rohit will bounce back in this for sure .he is one innings sort to find that old touch.
🔥🙌
No statement needed now 😅
It's better to give retirement announcement by the end of this test and giving last test match for Bumrah... Yes once a hero but better to leave...
Why is he getting such long run ?
Rohit is not a test batsman. He is lucky to get into test team because of poor team selectors and poor test coach. Team india wasted a good series by noncompetancy to fight in every session due to poor captaincy and coaching. Recruit some good test players in world as coach
Leaving it would have better approach when ur confidence is low
I think it’s high time for Rohit to retire from cricket. Last 8 matches only 155 runs with average of 19 runs for a test match. Not even 10 runs for an innings. Waste of giving one more chance for the Sydney test.
Leave alone his dismal batting display so far, his captaincy is so pathetic and pretty much reactive at times, defensive when its not required!! He won 52% off games under his captaincy in Tests mostly here in India which any captain would have done!!
3 innings to prove. Come on Harsha. You are very soft on luxury players. His average on last 10 innings is 11.30 and still you say that he got 3 innings to prove. Prove what? I have always been an admirer of you in cricket commentary. But off late, I am seeing that you are very soft on players like Rohit and Virat. Why? You know better than us what leadership is. Could Rohit set an example as a leader for the team in the last 5-6 test matches he played? Would Nitish Reddy have got these many chances had he flopped in Perth? As per your thoughts, if Rohit deserves 13-14 innings to prove his worth, then you should advocate the same for other players. Then it is fair. But, by that time, we, as ardent cricket fans of this country, loses inspiration to watch this beautiful game. Show guts to criticize if needed. Look at Mr.Gavaskar's comment on Rishab's dismissal. "Stupid stupid stupid". That is real. No fancy words, straight from heart. Because Rishab let the team down.
His body weight is too high and hence is losing balance while playing moving balls . Meanwhile DK shouldn’t give so much advice on test batting .
Doesn't really matters if he fires in remaining 3 innings how can the fitment rope for a player be extended till this point no clue no justification pathetic
Not even watching the video. Just here for the comments. So disappointing to see India in this state. India test team was fire when Kohli was the captain. BCCI fked it up for some ICC trophies because our stupid fans wanted it on the basis of Rohit's 5 plastic trophies. These very fans were criticizing Kohli and now look where it got us. We have lost our Test team. For what? A cheap T20WC. Kohli gave us 3 test maces. Fan pressure and BCCI ruined test cricket for us. Rohit should retire. He was never a test player, leave alone a test captain.
Mr. Sharma has single handedly destroyed test cricket scene since becoming captain, even 99's Sachin was not this clueless. Getting him quietly into test side as a batsman at number 6 (over likes of Karun etc.) by Shastri was questionable itself. But then what conspired later with him being the captain has to go down in the recent history as one of the biggest blunders. These on-payroll "experts" and his in-house PR team haven't helped the matters either. Hope this misery ends soon!
I think he should have this test last chance and then get benched for the last match against Australia. Bumrah should be the Captain for the last test match. Quit with the little dignity that he has.
