Harbhajan Singh On Rohit Sharma Captaincy: Under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, Team India suffered defeat in the Pink Ball Test played against Australia in Adelaide. This was the fourth consecutive defeat for Rohit Sharma as Indian captain. Earlier, Team India had suffered a 3-0 defeat in the three-match Test series played against New Zealand under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma. Now former Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh told why Rohit Sharma's captaincy is flopping.
Bhajji said that his poor form in batting is also affecting his captaincy. If seen through statistics, Harbhajan Singh's point is true to a great extent. In the first 6 test matches of the year, Rohit Sharma scored 455 runs at an average of 45.50. During this period, Team India won 5 out of 6 tests. Then in the next 6 tests, Rohit scored 142 runs at an average of 23.66. During this period, Team India won only 4 out of 6.
Speaking on Star Sports, Harbhajan Singh said, “When such a big player does not score runs, it becomes a matter of concern. We know he has the ability and he has scored a lot of runs for India. Although he did not score runs in this match and did not score runs in the last series, we do not want the pressure on the Indian captain to score runs. “There may be an impact.”
Harbhajan Singh further said, “We hope that he comes back in form. The conditions of other grounds like Brisbane suit him more. He needs to leave this match behind and think about what can be improved in the future and How can the team play better because the team is more important than their form.”
