'It will be lamb to slaughter house...': Shastri, Gavaskar's 'foolhardy' advice ridiculed as Rohit Sharma fear revealed

Hindustan Times  

After a double failure in Adelaide, which added to Rohit Sharma's woeful run in Test cricket, cricket legends Ravi Shastri and Sunil Gavaskar were the first to advice the India captain to return to his original batting spot in the playing XI for the third Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series against Australia. However, Ganesh warned India head coach Gautam Gambhir against the “foolhardy” advice as he reckoned it would be huge mistake from the Indian team if Rohit, who is “already short of confidence,” to return as an opener owing to his diminishing returns with the bat. Rohit Sharma's declining form Since the start of India's Test calendar in September this year, Rohit scored only 142 runs in 12 innings at an average of 11.83. The India captain's poor run of form left former Australia cricketer Kerry O'Keeffe asking whether the team management should consider a "plan B," hinting at dropping Rohit from the playing XI for the Gabba Test.
