Former Indian opener Navjot Singh Sidhu has expressed his disbelief over Rohit Sharma’s absence from the Sydney Test. Rohit, who was leading the Indian team, was surprisingly left out for the fifth and final Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. This move has sparked debates among fans and experts alike.
Sidhu, in a video shared on social media platform X, called it a strange and unprecedented decision. He said, “It is bizarre and strange. This is the first time in Indian cricket history that the captain has been left out of the team. If you make someone the captain, you must back them, whether they are in good or bad form.”
The former cricketer also emphasized the role of a captain in building trust within the team. “A captain is like the leader of a ship. Even if the ship is sinking, the captain cannot leave it. This decision sends the wrong message,” Sidhu added.
Rohit Sharma’s Future in Test Cricket Uncertain
Rohit’s absence from the Sydney Test has fueled speculation about his future in Test cricket. Jasprit Bumrah was named captain for the final match, raising questions about Rohit’s standing in the team. Reports suggest that a possible clash between coach Gautam Gambhir and Rohit Sharma might have caused friction in the leadership group.
India’s top order struggled again in Sydney, managing just 51 runs combined as the team was bowled out for 185. Rohit has faced criticism recently for poor performances, including India’s first home series defeat in 12 years against New Zealand and lackluster outings in Australia.
