Sunil Gavaskar questions favoritism towards Rohit Sharma; asks Dhawan to score big to secure place..........Miracle Miracle Miracle

[Ankit_sharma03]

He continued, “What’s been interesting though in this debate about Agarwal’s exclusion is the name of the player that those backing him wanted dropped, rested, whatever. As always Shikhar Dhawan’s name is top of the list and while he could hardly be dropped on form, Agarwal’s backers wanted him rested.”

Talking about Shikhar Dhawan, Gavaskar wrote, “Why Dhawan, why not Rohit Sharma? After all Rohit played more matches than Dhawan in South Africa. Not for a moment it is being advocated that Sharma should be dropped but it’s only to bring out that when the axe is to be wielded then Dhawan invariably tops the list. That’s why the left-hander has to realise that getting brilliant 70s and 80s is not going to save his place.”

Gavaskar further advised, “Only hundreds will and so like Virat Kohli hardly plays a lofted shot even in limited overs cricket and gets to 100s, Dhawan also has to ensure he eliminates the risky lofted shots and gets hundreds. His scoring rate is tremendous anyway so that will not drop down but his centuries will increase and the usual call to leave him out will decrease.”

Gavaskar said that the credit for transformation of Mayank Agarwal should go to Rahul Dravid.

“Agarwal’s progress has been tremendous from the hit and miss player he was a couple of years back. Rahul Dravid must take a big share of the credit for that for it is under his mentorship of the A team that Agarwal has become the consistent big score player he is today,” Gavaskar said.

Rohit didn't invite him to his Holi party so time to put Rohit in his rightful place. Too bad he doesn't make decisions at home just like Kohli!

[vvvslaxman]

All in all even Mumbaikars know Rohit sharma is a gone case in Tests. His 100s at home mean very little from now on. He has been in the international scenes for more than 10 years.

[rkt.india]

He has always supported Dhawan even after he failed in first test in SA.

Without Mumbai lobby, Rohit Sharma may not have played half the games

 

Same with Iyer too

[diga]

I think Agarwal was under Dravid in IPL not in a team... SunnyG satiya gaya hain

[Lannister]

What happened all of a sudden? Didn't Rohit Sharma hand over your share of money, Gavaskar? lol

[vvvslaxman]

Even @maniac seems to have given up on Rohit. Don't see him around :)

Anyone who thinks that Mayank Aggarwal is better than Rohit, they are up for a rude awakening.
