5th Test: Chose To Stand Down In Best Interest Of The Team, Reveals Rohit
He also described his decision as difficult but sensible. Rohit had averaged just 6.2 with the bat in three games, and opted out of playing the match, with Jasprit Bumrah leading the Indian team at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Rohit also revealed he was the one who told about this decision to head coach Gautam Gambhir and chief selector Ajit Agarkar.
“Neither of them (rested, opted out and dropped). I stood down from this Test – if I say a word, there are more than 50 words to describe it. The chat that I had with the coach (Gautam Gambhir) and selector (Ajit Agarkar) was straightforward that I was not able to score runs with the bat, and I am not in form," said Rohit in a freewheeling chat with broadcasters Star Sports during lunch break on day two’s play.
