Rohit's Hunger To Play Test Cricket Must Reflect In His Actions: Bangar

By IANS News January 07, 2025 • 14:12 PM View: 769

Sydney Cricket Ground: Former India coach Sanjay Bangar feels that India captain Rohit Sharma, who is enduring a lean patch in Test cricket, has to show his hunger for runs in his actions to continue playing the red-ball format.

The 37-year-old opted out of the fifth and final Test against Australia in Sydney due to his awful outings in the three Tests of the series. He accumulated only 31 runs across five innings on the tour.

The veteran gave examples of Chesteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahana, who had earned their place back in the team at the back of their domestic forms in the past.
