Legendary India cricketer Sunil Gavaskar made a massive claim on Rohit Sharma’s captaincy ahead of the final day of Gabba Test. Rohit has gone through a rough patch in Test cricket this year and his string of low scores has so far continued in the Border-Gavaskar series as well.
The India skipper has only been able to score a total of 19 runs in the 3 innings he has so far played in the series against Australia. Gavaskar believes that Rohit will not wait for the selection committee to take any decision on his captaincy and will step down if his form does not improve in the next couple of matches.
“I think Rohit obviously will get the opportunity to play in the next couple of matches, that’s for sure. But maybe at the end of it, if he hasn’t scored runs, my feeling is that he himself will take the call,” Gavaskar told ABC Sport.
“He’s a very conscientious cricketer, he will not want to be a burden on the team. He’s a cricketer who cares very deeply for Indian cricket. So if he doesn’t score runs in the next couple of games, I think he himself will step down,” Gavaskar added.
Rohit will definitely be looking to improve his woeful Test form in the upcoming 2 matches against Australia which will be played in Melbourne and Sydney respectively.
