New Delhi:
Social media on Rohit Sharma: No one had thought that by the end of the series against Australia (aus vs ind), such a “picture” of regular captain Rohit Sharma would be seen. Actually, the discussion had started even before the Sydney Test, when head coach Gautam Gambhir refused to confirm about Rohit’s playing in the press conference. But on Friday, when Jasprit Bumrah came on the field for the toss, it left millions of Indian cricket fans heartbroken. Rohit was left out of the XI for the fifth test. The decision is Rohit’s own or someone else’s? This will become clear in the coming time, but fans come in large numbers. His heart is crying and this is visible on social media.
Fans are making very emotional comments about Rohit.
The world will remember how Rohit Sharma proved again himself as selfless by dropping himself for the team despite being captain and Virat Kohli as selfish for playing despite being out of form from last 6 years. pic.twitter.com/DZ9d3uDzZl

There is no doubt that Indian cricket reached new heights under Rohit’s rule. And Team India achieved many achievements which will always be remembered

There is no doubt that this decision of Rohit will always be seen as an example. And will also put pressure on many players
These are Kohli’s stats in T20 WC 2024, when Rohit Sharma was India’s best batter in the tournament
Did Captain Rohit still drop him? no
Today the same Rohit is out of Test as he has failed in recent months, while players who have been failures for years will continue. pic.twitter.com/bZTaS7AmZo

Certainly, this is a decision of any captain, which will always be cited as an example.
Captain Rohit Sharma has sacrificed his place to back young players. Instead of dropping others, he dropped himself. Kohli can never do this despite 5 years of failure.💔
