‘Rohit Sharma’s last Test match…’: Sunil Gavaskar’s massive remark after Indian captain decided to Rest for Sydney Test

According to Indian legend Sunil Gavaskar, Indian captain Rohit Sharma has played his last final Test match. Gavaskar made an attempt to explain Rohit Sharma’s choice to ‘rest’ from the fifth and final Test. Rohit has decided to take rest from the Sydney Test himself, and Jasprit Bumrah is leading the team in this series decider as well.

Since there are not any more Test matches in the upcoming months, Gavaskar believed that India will not make it to the World Test Championship final, with the squad moving on from Rohit Sharma. According to the former player, the selection committee will be in search of a batter who can keep playing till 2027, which marks the end of the World Test Championship cycle.

“Well, I think what it probably means is that India don’t qualify for the World Test Championship final. To me, it looks that the Melbourne Test would be Rohit Sharma’s last game. The new cycle of the World Test Championship will start from the England series, so they will look to have somebody who will be available for 2027 final. Whether India gets to the final or not is another matter, but I think that’s what the selection committee will do. Therefore maybe we’ve probably seen Rohit Sharma for the last time in Test cricket,” Sunil Gavaskar said on Star Sports.

Gavaskar has believed that the decision to rest Rohit Sharma for the final Test of the series has had some influence from Ajit Agarkar without a doubt. India was currently 1-2 before the Sydney Test. If they wish to stay in the World Test Championship final, they must make sure that they win the last match of the series.
