‘Not sure what he is thinking’: Ex-Australia skipper gives MASSIVE verdict on Rohit Sharma

Former Australia captain Michael Clarke believes that India skipper Rohit Sharma has earned the right to walk away from Test cricket on his own terms following a poor run of form in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar series.

Rohit has played 5 innings so far in which he has only been able to score 31 runs in the Australia tour. The 37-year-old is yet to play a knock of significance against the Baggy Greens in the ongoing series.

“You see that with a number of players — to some people the captaincy helps for others it doesn’t. I certainly think he’ll plat at Sydney. I don’t think they’ll drop him. I think Rohit has earned the right and he’s captain. When you are captain you get a little more leeway as well,” Clarke told ESPN.

“But those numbers don’t read great. But they’ll allow Rohit to walk away on his own terms. No idea if Sydney will be his last Test. I’m not sure what he is thinking, or what India’s got coming up Test cricket wise,” Clarke added.

“I’m not sure how Rohit feels captaincy wise he’s just had his second child so who knows what’s going to happen there but I’ll imagine he will certainly play in Sydney,” Clarke further added.

The fifth and final Test of the Border-Gavaskar series will be played in Sydney and will commence from January 3. India head into the deciding match knowing that a loss will not only see them lose the series, but will also see them lose all hope of qualifying for the World Test Championship (WTC) final.
