Rohit Sharma interview: Ex-cricketer reminds India captain ‘to respect the hierarchy’, says ’playing for India is not…’

Live Mint  

Former cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar sent a strong message to the current batch of players, stating one has to respect the hierarchy in Indian cricket and can't decide his own 'future'. Manjrekar's comments come in after Rohit Sharma's remarks on retirement in a interview recently during the fifth Test against Australia in Sydney. Following his barren run with the bat in Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, retirement calls got a bit louder for Rohit with legends like Ravi Shastri and Sunil Gavaskar stating they won't be surprised if the Mumbai batter calls it quits in Sydney. Gambhir was getting all the credit: Manjrekar Manjrekar also felt Rohit's interview was an attempt to save his image as a selfless captain as everyone gave head coach Gautam Gambhir credit for benching the Indian skipper.
