Rohit sits out of BGT finale, stand-in Bumrah says skipper has shown leadership

Deccan Chronicle  

Sydney: India captain Rohit Sharma on Friday "opted to rest" himself from the fifth and final Test against Australia after a string of underwhelming performances, marking a rather dramatic start to the series finale. The year 2024 turned out to be the least productive year for Rohit in Test cricket as he collected 619 runs in 26 innings across 14 matches averaging 24.76. Having played his 67th five-day game in Melbourne, Rohit is also being expected to call time on his roller-coaster Test career soon. Last year Rohit guided India to a much-awaited T20 World Cup title but his performances dropped drastically in the traditional format.
