After the 184-run defeat at Melbourne, criticisms are raining on the Indian Test team captain Rohit Sharma, and now Akash Chopra is calling him selfish. Rohit Sharma's captaincy has been under scrutiny since India's defeat at Adelaide, and now his retirement is under high demand due to his ongoing run-drought. The former Indian cricketer Akash Chopra, on his YouTube channel, said that India had to sacrifice Shubman Gill to fit in Rohit Sharma. Bringing reference of MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli, Chopra highlighted how they had sacrificed their batting order to promote Rohit Sharma. However, according to Chopra Rohit is unlikely to do the same. Chopra said, "For the first time, captain Rohit took a call and it was totally in his interests. It was not in the team's interests. Let's be very honest. It can't be in the team's interests because Rahul was opening very well. Shubman Gill did well in 2023, he is the second-highest run-scorer. He has played in tough situations also. He was looking good in Adelaide too. But, he had to be dropped from the team. All this is because Rohit thought about himself, not in the best interests of the team. For the first time in his captaincy career. It didn't turn out fine. India were not able to draw." Not only that, Chopra also wants the Indian team management to bench Rohit Sharma for the Sydney Test. He urged them to bring back Shubman Gill and promote Nitish Reddy at 6.

Following that, he declared retirement from the shortest format. However, he became a free wicket to the opponents in the Test with time. A name that shone in the England Test was the young Dhruv Jurel, who scored 190 runs in the series playing 4 innings, with an average of 63.33. He scored 90 in the Ranchi Test and stood not out at 39 in the second inning, winning the Test along with Shubman Gill. Even in the second unofficial Test match prior to the BGT series, Jurel scored two fighting half centuries in both innings (80 and 68) for a shattered batting line-up of India. He was in the playing XI at Perth, took a stunning catch at the short leg, but failed to score runs. Rohit Sharma, who missed the Test at Perth due to paternal leave, came back for the Adelaide and joined the middle order, axing Jurel. And now that he promoted himself to the top and can't demote KL Rahul too deep, India benched Gill. And thereafter, Rohit Sharma's scores look like this: 3, 6, 10, 3, 9.
