Rohit Sharma talks about his absence from Sydney Test
Following Rohit Sharma's absence from the ongoing fifth Test match against Australia, retirement talks had gained traction, however Sharma has insisted that he opted out of the fifth Test against Australia, refuting any claims of retirement.
Rohit Sharma's decision to sit out the fifth Test was a matter of personal choice and not due to being dropped by the selectors. In Rohit's absence, Jasprit Bumrah is leading the side. Over the last five innings, Rohit only scored 3, 6, 10, 3 and 9.
"This is not a decision of retirement. I am not moving away from this game. But I took a decision to step away from this game because I was not able to score runs with the bat. There is no guarantee that I will score runs 2 months or 5 months from now," Rohit Sharma told Star Sports.
"I have seen a lot of cricket, every minute, every second and everyday life changes. I believe that things will change but at the same time I have to be realistic as well. People sitting in the commentary box, or writing with a laptop in their hands, will not decide how my life goes," he said.
