Criticism Mounts on Rohit Sharma's Captaincy

India's defeat to Australia in the second Test has sparked criticism of Rohit Sharma's captaincy, particularly for his handling of star bowler Jasprit Bumrah, who was underutilized despite being the team's leading wicket-taker. Rohit defended his strategy, emphasizing the need for collective responsibility among the bowlers and cautioning against over-reliance on Bumrah. Former cricketers like Sunil Gavaskar suggested Rohit should return to his usual opening position to regain form, while Kapil Dev expressed confidence in Rohit's ability to bounce back. Despite these challenges, Rohit stressed the importance of team performance in both batting and bowling, calling for greater contributions from all players. The team faces pressure to regroup and prepare adequately for the remaining matches in the series, with Rohit urging players to utilize practice opportunities.
