Rohit Sharma’s Bold Decision: Putting Team Above Self
Rohit Sharma’s exclusion from the fifth Test against Australia raised eyebrows, but the reasons behind it remain under wraps as the Indian team prefers to keep such decisions private. With the series hanging at 1-2, and Rohit struggling with form since the Bangladesh series, Shubman Gill was brought back into the Playing XI.
Former all-rounder Irfan Pathan praised Rohit’s selfless call, highlighting the rarity of a captain stepping aside for the team’s benefit. "Not many captains would remove themselves from the XI. It shows Rohit’s confidence and security as a player," Pathan said on Star Sports.
India also made another change, bringing in Prasidh Krishna to replace the injured Akash Deep. Rohit’s decision reflects his team-first approach, a quality that sets him apart in the world of cricket.
