Rohit Sharma Unheard Story Reveled: Former selector Jatin was provoked on Paranjpe Rohit Sharma, said, how do you know I don’t know how to play test

New Delhi. Former Test captain of the Indian team Rohit Sharma suddenly decided to say goodbye to this format. He announced his retirement just before the Test series being played in England. Former Indian batsman Jatin Paranjpe has revealed that Rohit Sharma was angry when his Test cricket attachment and dedication was questioned. He thought how people could say that he is not interested in Test cricket, while he started playing with a red ball.

Before the England series, Rohit’s sudden retirement from Test cricket was shocked to many people, especially because it came without a fall in match or fitness. This decision surprised many people, including Paranjpe, who has now revealed the mentality of a young cricketer who wanted to represent the team in all the formats.

Paranjpe while talking on ‘A Century of Stories’ podcast said, “I remember that he was not playing a Test for India. We talked about it and he said, ‘I started playing cricket with a red ball, Jatin. How can you say that I am not interested in Test cricket?’ I got the message and I hope that he would say this. “

Paranjpe said, “Yes, yes (yes (if Rohit was angry). He forced me to think. He said that ‘I have grown up playing with a red ball, how can I get away from it?’ This was his unique thinking again. ”

Rohit struggled to make a place in India’s Test team for years due to injuries and ups and downs. Everything changed when former Indian head coach Ravi Shastri supported him as an opener six years ago. That one strategic change revived Rohit’s Test career. This is a big moment. I remember that I was part of the selection committee at that time. This was Ravi Shastri’s idea. Ravi is 3-4 steps ahead of everyone in reading the game. “
