Irfan Pathan Reaction Rohit Sharma Drop Sydney Test: Recently, news of infighting within Team India had created a stir in Indian cricket. Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma’s sitting out of the Sydney Test has also become a big controversial issue. This is also being called a controversy because these days speculations of rift between captain Rohit and head coach Gautam Gambhir are on the rise. Seeing all these incidents, Irfan Pathan has put forward his reaction on this big decision of Rohit Sharma.
Let us tell you that Rohit Sharma has scored only 31 runs in five innings so far in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2025-25. In this situation, captain Irfan Pathan says that perhaps due to being in very bad form, he thought it best to drop himself. In this way he has also taken care of the interest of the team.
Irfan Pathan said, “Rohit Sharma is thinking that the bat is not moving at all. The batsman himself realizes that he is in no mood to fight. Perhaps Rohit thought that in such a situation it is better to take a break. He also thought about the team that Shubman Gill was playing better and it is not possible for every player to drop himself as captain.
