Shastri On Why He Didn’t Ask Bumrah About Rohit At Sydney Toss”

Former India coach Ravi Shastri revealed why he didn’t ask Jasprit Bumrah about Rohit Sharma’s absence during the toss at the Sydney Test against Australia. India was 1-2 down in the series, needing to win to retain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Bumrah, standing in for Rohit, won the toss and chose to bat. Despite the confusion, Shastri didn’t immediately ask Bumrah about Rohit’s absence, instead focusing on the team combination. Bumrah later clarified that Rohit opted to rest for the game to keep the team’s interests in mind.

Former batter Sanjay Manjrekar criticized the lack of clarity, stating he was surprised Shastri didn’t ask Bumrah directly.
