Will Be Long And Difficult For Rohit To Play Tests Again, Says Ponting
Gavaskar Trophy Test: Australia cricketing great Ricky Ponting feels the path for Rohit Sharma to play Tests again will be a long and difficult one after the regular Indian skipper opted to rest from the ongoing fifth Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Friday.
Rohit has averaged just 6.2 from the three Tests he played against Australia with the highest score of 10. Speculation around him not playing at Sydney emerged after head coach Gautam Gambhir refused to term him as a guaranteed starter in the pre-match press conference.
Rohit had already bid farewell to T20Is after captaining India to the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in 2024 triumph. “I think the reaction has been that they all sort of expected that it might happen. The chat's been for the last couple of days that everyone expected that Rohit would not play this game, that Shubman Gill would come back in and that (Jasprit) Bumrah would probably take over the captaincy again and that's the way it's turned out.”
