Rohit avoids discussion on retirement after Melbourne Test defeat, says Pant ‘needs to understand what is required of him’
FirstpostThe clamour for Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli to retire only grew louder after the two out-of-form legends were dismissed cheaply yet again on Day 5 of the fourth Test against Australia. While expressing disappointment over losing what was a hard-fought Test at the MCG that went down the wire on the final day, Rohit avoided directly addressing questions over his future in the Test format and instead, commented on the team’s performance as well as those of Nitish Kumar Reddy, Rishabh Pant and others. AP Rohit also admitted there wasn’t much turnaround till the New Year’s Test in Sydney, but insisted India will do everything possible to try and move the momentum back in their favour. **Pant needs to understand what’s required of him: Rohit ** It’s not just Rohit and Kohli who have been at the receiving end of the wrath of experts and fans; wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant too has attracted a deluge of criticism for his shot selection in the Melbourne Test. Indian batting legend Sunil Gavaskar had slammed Pant for his “stupid” shot selection off Scott Boland’s bowling on Day 3 and angry netizens wanted the keeper-batter to be dropped along with Rohit and Kohli for the Sydney Test.
