'If India win, then Rohit Sharma returns...': BCCI warned of major chaos as Harbhajan replies to viral Gavaskar remark

Hindustan Times  

Former India cricketer Harbhajan Singh warned the Board of Control for Cricket in India of a major chaos as he replied to India batting legend Sunil Gavaskar's viral suggestion to the selectors of making Jasprit Bumrah the captain for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series amid the uncertainty over Rohit Sharma's participation in the first match against Australia in Perth. India's captain Rohit Sharma, right, and Jasprit Bumrah leave the field Earlier in month, in an interaction with India Today, Gavaskar said that chief selector Ajit Agarkar should name Bumrah as the captain for the entire Australia series, amid the then uncertainty over Rohit's duration of absence from the tour. Calling out fans on the internet for “changing sides quickly,” he reckoned, given the trend, if India win under Bumrah in Perth, before the joining of Rohit, there might be a major chaos on social media over captaincy for the second Test in Adelaide. He further predicted that if India lose under both Bumrah and Rohit, social media could want Virat Kohli back as their leader for the third Test.
