Adam Gilchrist’s View on Rohit Sharma’s Test Career
Adam Gilchrist believes that Rohit Sharma’s Test career is likely over. He stated, “I don’t think Rohit Sharma will go on the England tour. The Indian captain’s Test career is over.” Earlier, Rohit Sharma missed the Sydney Test against Australia due to his ongoing struggle with poor form in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. This led to his decision to drop out of the playing XI for the Sydney Test.
