Rohit May Have Decided To Retire When He Stepped Aside From Sydney Test, Opines Kaif
T20 World Cup: Former India cricketer Mohammad Kaif questioned Rohit Sharma’s decision to step down as captain for the final Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Sydney earlier this year. Calling it a misstep, he opined the timing was off and hinted that veteran opener may have already made up his mind to retire from Test cricket at that point.
Rohit had struggled in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series in Australia, which India lost 3-1. He averaged just 6.20 in five innings. His struggles with the bat culminated in the skipper dropping himself for the final Test in Sydney and handing the reins to Jasprit Bumrah, who had led India to a thumping 295-run win in the series opener in Perth.
"We had gotten the odd feeling when Rohit removed himself from the starting XI at Sydney, citing his batting form and the team needing to win. I had felt that we needed a captain in that crucial game.
