Former Indian cricketer Mohammad Kaif criticized Rohit Sharma's decision to sit out the series-deciding Sydney Test in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Rohit, citing poor form, stepped aside, leaving India under the leadership of stand-in captain Jasprit Bumrah, who later sustained an injury. India lost the match by six wickets, surrendering the trophy to Australia after seven years. Kaif emphasized that as captain, Rohit should have led despite his struggles, especially during such a critical game. While some praised Rohit's selflessness, Kaif labeled it a poor decision, citing the leadership void during key moments of the match.
