Rohit Sharma’s international career prospects and whether the Indian cricketer should lead India in Test matches or concentrate only on his batting ability have been discussed by legendary cricketer Steve Waugh. The captain of India in both ODI and Test cricket, Rohit, has been having form issues for a while. For a batsman of his calibre, he has only managed one half-century in his last 15 innings of Test cricket, which is incredibly low.
In Australia, the Mumbai batter was at his worst during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. He was dropped from the final Test, asking Jasprit Bumrah to lead instead, after failing to perform in the three games he played. The former captain of Australia made a crucial comment on the top Indian cricket player. He said Rohit should talk to himself and reevaluate his form and performance in red-ball cricket.
“He has complete control. He alone is capable of resolving that issue. He must ask himself, “Do I still want to be captain or play for India?” after glancing in the mirror. Am I committed? Is my time and effort being sufficient? To play for your nation is an honour and a privilege. “It is impossible to be relaxed or complacent,” News18 reported him saying.
Steve Waugh claims that the essence of cricket is test cricket.
Steve Waugh also discussed how Test cricket is currently competing with T20. The sport is fast-paced in its shortest form, which is both fascinating and exhilarating. As a sport, Test cricket is necessary, nevertheless. Keeping the Test format “healthy” is another crucial concern, according to the World Cup-winning skipper.
Because we depend on Test cricket as a sport, there is concern about its survival. I still believe that Test cricket is the true spirit of cricket, even though T20 cricket is fantastic for players, fans, and sponsors. I think the athletes still want to play Tests to see their true potential. The ultimate competition. Making sure it lives, grows, and is healthy is crucial,” Waugh continued.
