Due to poor batting, Rohit had decided to stay out of the Sydney Test, but still former Team India cricketer Navjot Singh Sidhu has supported the Hitman.

Navjot Singh Sidhu told

Talking to media, Navjot Singh Sidhu said, “You cannot question Rohit. How will you assess his ability? Rohit has lived up to all expectations. Your true colours come out in Test cricket. Your weaknesses will be exposed. It is important for Virat and Rohit to play in England.” Both have experience and there is no other option than them. If there are 10 people in India, they have 20 different opinions. Who can you make the captain of the Test format at the last moment? You have no one. No one has performed like this. You have no choice. Rohit has experience. You cannot replace Rohit. His record in England is strong.”
