Sunil Gavaskar discards Gambhir's Rohit Sharma defence, India captain under scrutiny: 'Are you happy scoring 25 runs?'

Hindustan Times  

India captain Rohit Sharma did brush aside concerns around his form with an ODI century in the lead-up to the Champions Trophy but managed just 104 runs in four innings thus far in the ICC tournament, leaving experts concerned ahead of the all-important final against New Zealand on Sunday. India head coach Gautam Gambhir did jump to Rohit's defence, lashing out at critics, but Sunil Gavaskar discarded it as he urged the 37-year-old to rethink his batting approach. Sunil Gavaskar is not happy with Rohit Sharma's aggressive batting approach Speaking to reporters after India's win against Australia in the semifinal on Tuesday, Gambhir said that numbers don't define Rohit's form, the impact he creates with those explosive starts matters to the team. Despite Gavaskar's urge, Rohit is unlikely to abandon his aggressive batting template against New Zealand when the two teams clash for the Champions Trophy title on Sunday in Dubai.
