In what was a massive moment, India National Cricket Team skipper Rohit Sharma didn't feature in the playing XI for the ongoing Sydney Test. The opening batter was replaced by Shubman Gill, who was dropped from the XI for the last game at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne.
This decision shocked many as the captain not playing the match invited a lot of debate. In his absence, Jasprit Bumrah is leading the team, but the batting woes at the top continued as the top order failed to get going, and the India National Cricket Team lost wickets early and were under massive pressure.
It's bizarre, it's strange, simply because this has happened for the first time in Indian cricket history - Navjot Singh Sidhu on Rohit Sharma's snub
"It's bizarre, it's strange, simply because this has happened for the first time in Indian cricket history, that a captain is sitting outside. Either you shouldn't have made captain, but if he is captain, and a great player who has done a lot of service to Indian cricket, then whether his form is bad or not, it doesn't matter.
"A Captain should never be dropped midstream nor given the option to opt-out - Navjot Singh Sidhu
Navjot Singh Sidhu added that the captain of the team never leaves the ship. While calling Rohit Sharma a respectable person, he said that it was a very wrong call. He elaborated:
Navjot Singh Sidhu shared the video with the caption, saying that he has seen greats of the game, who were captains, play despite failing for years. He stressed that Rohit Sharma deserved more respect from team management. He said:
A Captain should never be dropped midstream nor given the option to opt out … sends wrong signals …. Have seen Captain s like Mark Taylor , Azharuddin etc persisted as captain for a year despite bad form …. @ImRo45 deserved more respect and faith from the management …… pic.twitter.com/OJcSF9r3fU
