‘Unfair on some boys but…’: Gavaskar's blunt ‘Ranji Trophy’ advice for out-of-form Rohit Sharma
Hindustan TimesRohit Sharma made it clear that he is not retiring from Test cricket, clarifying that he himself stood down for the Sydney match against Australia due to his poor form. Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar wants the 37-year-old batter to play the knockout matches of the Ranji Trophy if he wants to make a comeback into the Test side. Sunil Gavaskar says Rohit Sharma should look to play Ranji Trophy in order to make a comeback. “Well, there are not much of four-day games that are available, but if there are some like the Ranji Trophy, if Mumbai do qualify for the knockout stages, he should be looking to play some matches," Gavaskar told India Today. 'Playing in Ranji Trophy will give him confidence' Gavaskar also said that if Rohit Sharma plays the Ranji Trophy and spends some time in the middle, he would gain some confidence.
