Rohit Sharma Opens Up on Stepping Down from SCG Test

Rohit Sharma, India’s regular captain, clarified his decision to step down from the crucial SCG Test during an interview on Day 2 of the match. Sharma revealed that his decision followed discussions with the head coach and selectors, prioritizing the team’s needs over personal aspirations.“The chat I had with the coach and the selector was very simple—runs weren’t coming from my bat, form isn’t there, and this is an important match. Collectively, the batters are not in form, so you can’t carry many out-of-form players in the team,” Sharma told broadcasters during the lunch break.This transparent admission sheds light on India's strategic focus as they navigate the series-deciding match in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
