Former Team India selector gave a warning regarding Rohit Sharma, made a shocking claim

Rohit Sharma is not in form these days. His performance has been very poor in recent times. Under Rohit's captaincy, Team India has failed to make its mark in ODIs and Tests. After being clean-swept in the ODI series against Sri Lanka, the Indian team has also been whitewashed in the New Zealand Test series at home. Now it is the turn of the Australia tour, where a 5-match Test series is to be held. The final of the World Test Championship also depends on the results of these matches. Given this, Team India's veteran cricketer and former selector Krishnamachari Srikkanth has given a warning about the Indian captain. He has also made a shocking claim about Rohit's career.

Team India will have to do this work soon

Srikkanth has warned the Indian team management through his YouTube channel. He has said to find a replacement for Rohit as soon as possible. He has claimed that if the Indian team does not perform well on the Australia tour starting from November 22, then Rohit will retire from Test cricket. Srikkanth said on his YouTube channel that 'The Indian team has to keep in mind that Rohit is gradually getting older. He has already quit T20 cricket and if his performance in Australia is not good, then he will quit Test cricket himself. Therefore, it is important to think about the future.'

Praise for Rohit Sharma

Srikkanth was impressed with Rohit's honesty after his poor performance against New Zealand. He praised Rohit for accepting his shortcomings in captaincy and batting. Srikkanth said, 'At least Rohit has the courage to accept his mistake. This is the biggest thing and this is the reason why any player comes back to form again. I believe that he has taken the first step and is on the path to recovery.'

For Rohit Sharma, the New Zealand Test series proved to be the worst series of his career as a batsman and captain. The Indian captain scored 91 runs in this series at an average of just 15.16. This is the worst average of his Test career in a Test series of at least 3 matches. Not only this, amid the dominance of spin bowlers, two fast bowlers troubled him a lot. Against New Zealand, Rohit was out against the pacers 4 out of 6 times. At the same time, Rohit's decisions as a captain were also wrong on many occasions, due to which the Indian team was clean swept in a 3-match Test series at home for the first time.
