When You're Captain, You Probably Get A Little Bit More Leeway As Well, Says Clarke On Rohit
Around The Wicket: Former Australia captain Michael Clarke believes Rohit Sharma has earned the right to decide on his future in the Test team, citing that one gets a little bit more leeway when the person is the skipper of the team. Rohit has made just 31 runs in three Tests of the ongoing tour of Australia, which has meant his average as India’s captain is at 30.58, as compared to an average of 46.87 in the longer format before taking up captaincy.
“Those numbers are interesting. I think you see that with the number of players. For some people the captaincy helps, for some people, it doesn't. I certainly think he'll play in Sydney. I don't think they'll drop him. I think Rohit's earned the right, and he's captain. When you're captain, you probably get a little bit more leeway as well.”
“Those numbers don't read great. Don't get me wrong. But I think they'll allow Rohit to walk away on his own terms. No idea if Sydney will be his last Test. I'm not sure what he's thinking, as I'm not sure what India's got coming up, Test cricket-wise.”
