The news of Rohit Sharma being dropped from the Sydney Test has shocked cricket lovers. In the history of Indian cricket, rarely has any captain removed himself from the team in the middle of a series. Jasprit Bumrah is now captaining the Indian team in the fifth Test. After this incident, a leaked list on social media has created a new controversy, in which Rohit Sharma’s name is not included. This list was shared by BCCI.
Questions arising regarding Rohit Sharma
As preparations were being made for the fifth Test, confusion regarding Rohit Sharma’s play increased. A viral list on social media further fueled the controversy. The names of 16 players of the Indian team were included in this list, but the name of Rohit Sharma was missing. This list was signed by Indian team head coach Gautam Gambhir.
When India won the toss in the Sydney Test, captain Jasprit Bumrah said, “Rohit Sharma has rested himself and we will take every possible step in the interest of the team.”
Question on BCCI’s silence
BCCI did not issue any official statement on the absence of Rohit Sharma. Neither press release nor any post on social media came. The list of 16 players going viral was shared in the official WhatsApp group of BCCI.
Apart from the main team, all the fit players were included in this list. But Rohit Sharma’s name was nowhere. This thing is surprising the cricket lovers, because Rohit Sharma is an important member of the Indian team.
List of reserve players
The viral list also contained the names of several reserve players, including:
- Devdutt Padikkal: Young opener, who has performed brilliantly in domestic cricket.
- Sarfaraz Khan: The middle order batsman has been in excellent form in the Ranji Trophy.
- Dhruv Jurel: Wicketkeeper-batsman who caught the attention of selectors with his technical skills.
- Abhimanyu Easwaran: Experienced batsman, known for his consistency in domestic cricket.
- Harshit Rana: Young fast bowler, who is in the news for his speed and swing.
Rohit Sharma’s drop: Decision in the interest of the team or controversy?
Many speculations are being made regarding Rohit Sharma’s drop. Was this decision really taken for his comfort, as Bumrah said, or are there any strategic reasons behind it?
It is difficult for cricket lovers to understand why an experienced player like the captain was kept out before such an important match. BCCI’s silence is making this matter more complicated.
