BGT 2024-25: With Family Complete, Rohit Should Now Play The Perth Test, Says Surinder Khanna
Gavaskar Trophy Down Under: Rohit Sharma’s participation in the first Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy Down Under remains uncertain, even after the birth of his second child, a baby boy. While the Indian skipper's presence would be vital for the series opener in Australia, former cricketer Surinder Khanna conveyed heartfelt wishes to Rohit but also emphasised the importance of joining the squad for the high-stakes encounter.
Rohit had earlier communicated to the BCCI, regarding his unavailability for the first Test due to the birth of the second child. With, Rohit certainly unavailable, vice-captain Jasprit Bumrah is poised to don the captaincy responsibility for India.
"First of all, I want to congratulate Rohit and his family on the birth of their baby boy and wish them all the luck. But now the family is complete - a son and a daughter - so Rohit should go and play the Test match. I recall when I got married, I had to return for a match on the same evening as my reception. By the time I reached my room, it was 4 am, and my wife woke me up to go to the airport for a game. That kind of commitment is what defines players," Khanna told IANS.
