A big 'conspiracy' is being hatched against Rohit in the name of Bumrah

Border-Gavaskar Trophy: Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma is under criticism these days. Questions are being raised on his captaincy and performance on the Australia tour. The defeat in the second Test in Adelaide and the controversies that arose before the Gabba Test have put Rohit's leadership in the dock. Former Australian cricketers have especially targeted his strategies.

Questions on Adelaide defeat and captaincy

Rohit Sharma played the second Test match against Australia as captain, but the team had to face a crushing defeat of 10 wickets. Rohit's bat remained silent in both innings, and his decisions were also criticized. Former Australian cricketer Simon Katich described Rohit's captaincy as weaker than Bumrah's captaincy.

Katich said in his podcast, "Bumrah's captaincy in Perth was excellent. He used the bowlers correctly, and the bowling line-length was perfect. In contrast, in Adelaide, Rohit Sharma allowed the bowlers to bowl at a length of 7-8 meters, which was not right for taking wickets. Rohit should have been more active on the field and talked to the bowlers."

Bumrah vs Rohit: Controversy of comparison

Veterans like Katich have described Bumrah's captaincy as better than Rohit's, which has sparked a new debate in Indian cricket. Bumrah recently led the Indian team to victory in Perth under his captaincy, and his aggressive strategies were highly praised. However, the question arises whether it is right to call Rohit a weak captain on the basis of just one defeat?

Arguments in support of Rohit Sharma

Critics of Rohit Sharma should not forget that he has led the Indian team to success in many big tournaments, including winning the T20 World Cup. The world accepts his captaincy. Rohit has made Mumbai Indians champions a record five times in the IPL, which proves his strategic understanding and leadership ability.

Is this a conspiracy by Australia?

Many experts believe that all this could be part of the mind game of the Australian giants. By putting pressure on Rohit Sharma, the Australian team wants to create instability in the Indian dressing room. History is witness that Australia has used such strategies before.

Way forward

Before the Test at Gabba, it is important that Rohit Sharma silences his critics and responds with his performance on the field. The Indian team will also have to show full confidence in its captain.

Cricket is a game in which there are both wins and losses. Questioning the ability of the captain on the basis of the result of a single match is not only unfair, but it also has a negative impact on the morale of the team. Now it remains to be seen how Rohit faces these challenges and proves his leadership ability once again.
