Former Australian cricketer made fun of Rohit Sharma, advised him to do comedy
Simon Katich on Rohit Sharma: India has lost the five-Test Border Gavaskar Trophy 3-1 to Australia. With this, India missed out on making it to the final of the World Test Championship for the third consecutive time.
Former Australian cricketer Simon Katich has made fun of Rohit Sharma, the regular captain of the Indian cricket team, who lost the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. Talking to the broadcasters of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, he said that if you look at his statistics, they are not good. We saw it during the Test match. It was selfless for him to be out of the 5th Test match. I saw that interview of his, spoke very well. There is no doubt that the future of the veteran batsman is now in stand-up comedy rather than cricket because his humor is amazing.
He further said that at the age of 37, only he knows whether he has the hunger or willpower to play again. The series against England is not going to be easy. They have some young fast bowlers. Gus Atkinson and Brydon Carse are doing well. I can say that if he decides to go on this tour and the Indian selectors choose him first, then it will be a tough tour. Rohit Sharma's statistics on BGT are not worth reading. There is no place in the top order for 37-year-old players in Test cricket.
India lost the five-Test Border Gavaskar Trophy 3-1 to Australia. With this, it missed out on a place in the final of the World Test Championship for the third consecutive time. Rohit Sharma could not play the first Test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy due to the birth of his second child. He could score no more than 10 runs in 5 innings before resting in the 5th Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Not only this, but he scored just 31 runs in 5 innings of the series. He has been the target of criticism due to poor performance for a long time.
There were speculations about the retirement of Rohit Sharma owing to his poor form, but in an interview given to broadcasters during the Sydney Test match, he completely rejected all such news. He said that our life does not run on what someone is saying. These people can't decide when we should retire when we shouldn't play, when we have to sit out, and when we should captain. We have got to be realistic.
