We are just secretive: Manjrekar fumes at Indian cricket culture after Rohit's exclusion
Sanjay Manjrekar, India former player and cricket analyst took a dig at the Indian cricket culture over the way in which Rohit Sharma was omitted from the team for the final Test of the Border Gavaskar Trophy against Australia in Sydney. The Indian red ball and ODI captain Rohit Sharma was dramatically dropped from the playing XI owing to poor form. After missing the Perth Test, Rohit managed to score a meagre 31 runs in the five innings that he played in the series. The 37-year-old was replaced by the young Shubman Gill, while the opening slot was filled by KL Rahul, with Jasprit Bumrah taking over the leadership. Taking to 'X', Manjrekar wrote, "So typical of Rohit Sharma. Doing the right thing, doing what’s right for the team. But could not understand the ‘cloak & dagger’ around the issue. Wasn’t even talked about at the toss." So typical of Rohit Sharma. Doing the right thing, doing what’s right for the team. But could not understand the ‘cloak & dagger’ around the issue. Wasn’t even talked about at the toss.
