As reported by Timesofindia.com on the eve of the Sydney Test, India captain Rohit Sharma was dropped from the playing eleven for the series-decider against Australia, which began on Friday.
Rohit, who had scored just 31 runs in five innings of this Border Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) was replaced by Shubman Gill, while KL Rahul returned to the opening slot alongside Yashasvi Jaiswal. But what surprised former India batter turned commentator Sanjay Manjrekar was the fact that the official reason for Rohit's exclusion was not discussed during the chat with India's stand-in captain, Jasprit Bumrah, at the toss.
