The Indian team had to face a 2-1 loss in the 3 match ODI series against Australia at home. This was also India’s first ODI series loss at home after 4 years, although considering the ODI World Cup, this loss is seen as a bell of danger for the India team. Now former India veteran Sunil Gavaskar has given a strong reaction to captain Rohit Sharma’s decision not to play in the first ODI.
We tell you that when the team was announced for the ODI series against Australia, then Rohit Sharma was rested from the first match played in Mumbai, in which Hardik Pandya took over as team captain. .
Speaking on Star Sports, Sunil Gavaskar said that I think he should play every game. You don’t want a captain who only comes to play one game and doesn’t play the others. He can happen to any other player but I know he didn’t play for family.
Gavaskar further said that, however, when it comes to the World Cup, the family must be left behind. Before this, you need to finish all things and not miss any matches unless there is an emergency. It is a different matter when an emergency arrives.
The Indian team won the first match of the 3 match ODI series against Australia by 5 wickets. Following this, the Australian team made a spectacular comeback in the second ODI, winning by 10 wickets and leveling the series 1-1. At the same time, in the last ODI played in Chennai, Australia won the series 2-1 under Steve Smith’s captaincy by 21 runs.
