The recently concluded Border Gavaskar Trophy has been a bucket of ifs and buts, with new reports suggesting that the Indian Test captain Rohit Sharma was likely to retire from Test cricket after the Melbourne Test. However, he came back from such thoughts and decided not to bid adieu to the longest format, which irked Gautam Gambhir, the head coach of India. Rohit Sharma not only struggled with the bat, but his captaincy was under huge criticism. The frustrating tally of 31 runs throughout the series added more woes to his defencive captaincy. Travis Head's two consecutive centuries are believed to be a byproduct of Rohit's defensive approach. The drama was set before the Sydney Test. Rohit Sharma, who was an usual face for the pre-match press conference, was not only invisible; his absence was also not formally addressed by the head coach, Gautam Gambhir. Rohit was also not spotted in the slip-catching practice session. Even when the team was announced, he did not walk out with the rest of the team. There were rumours about some possible rifts, and now reports are claiming that Rohit coming back from the retirement decision might have triggered Gambhir. About his retirement, a source anonymously informed the Times of India that his well-wishers urged Rohit to stay back; otherwise he would have left in no time. The source said, “Rohit had made up his mind after MCG. Had his well-wishers from the outside didn't force him to change his mind, we could have well seen another retirement in Australia."

On Saturday 11, the BCCI officials held a meeting with Gambhir and Rohit, where they cleared uncertainty on Rohit's future. However, they have decided to keep Gambhir out of the blame game, clarifying that batters' struggles can't defy the coaching capabilities! Also, they haven't rushed to axe Rohit from the captaincy as the Champions Trophy is knocking on the door.
