Indian team captain Rohit Sharma with coach Gautam Gambhir
New Delhi. In the last match during the Test series on Australia’s tour, Rohit Sharma had taken out the playing XI even after being a captain himself. He said in this case that his decision to stay out of the Sydney Test against Australia was not taken unanimously earlier this year. In this, he had a ‘debate’ with head coach Gautam Gambhir and chief selector Ajit Agarkar.
The captains playing in Adelaide, Brisbane and Melbourne during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy failed in five consecutive innings. In the fourth Test match of the series played in Melbourne, the team decided to sit out Shubman Gill. Rohit told former Australia captain Michael Clarke during ‘Beyond 23 Cricket Podcast’, “We somehow wanted to keep Gill in playing XI, he is a very good player. He did not play in the last Test match. I am like this… Okay, if I am not able to kill the ball well, then it is now. Things can change after five days, ten days later.
He said, “I talked to the coach and the selector and they also agreed, disagreeed. We also had a debate on this issue. You try to give priority to the team, you just see what the team needs and takes a decision accordingly. Sometimes it will work sometimes not. this is what happens. You do not guarantee success in whatever decision you try to take.
This great batsman also argued to reach the decision to exclude himself. He said, “I (in Adelaide) did not play well. I thought I should have started the innings. What I do and I would like to fail there. This is my place, this is my situation. I would like to go there and bat, whether I get success or not, it is a different matter. But I will play for the team in my natural place. ”
