Rohit Sharma ne Sydney Test se baahar rehne ke faisle par khola raaz
India ke captain Rohit Sharma ne Australia ke khilaf Border Gavaskar Trophy ke aakhri aur faisla-kun Sydney Test match se baahar rehne ke apne faisle ke baare mein baat ki hai. Unhone kaha ki yeh faisla team ke fayde ke liye liya gaya tha.
Beyond23 Cricket Podcast par Michael Clarke se baat karte hue, Rohit ne head coach Gautam Gambhir aur chairman of selectors Ajit Agarkar ke saath hui baatcheet ka jikr kiya. Unhone bataya ki jab unhone dono ko Sydney Test mein na khelne ke apne faisle ke baare mein bataya, toh unke vichaar alag-alag the.
Rohit ne 15 innings mein sirf 164 runs banaye the, average 10.83 raha tha, aur India das saal mein pehli baar Border Gavaskar Trophy haar gayi thi.
Shubman Gill ko mauka dena tha, isliye liya mushkil faisla
Rohit ne kaha ki woh chahte the ki Shubman Gill series ke aakhri match mein khelein, kyunki Gill Sydney se pehle wala match nahin khel paaye the. “Sydney Test mein mujhe khud ke saath imandar hona tha. Main achhi batting nahin kar raha tha. Main sirf isliye team mein nahin rehna chahta tha kyunki aur bhi players struggling kar rahe the. Agar main bhi wahaan hota, toh situation aur kharab ho jaati. Aur hum chahte the ki Gill khele. Woh itna achha player hai. Woh pichla Test nahin khel paya tha,” Rohit ne kaha.
Coach aur selector se hui thi charcha, team ko rakha sabse aage
“Maine socha, ‘Agar main achhi batting nahin kar raha, toh abhi sahi time hai baahar hone ka’. Cheezein das din baad, paanch din baad badal sakti hain. Maine coach aur selector se baat ki, jo tour par the. Woh maan gaye – matlab poori tarah se nahin. Is baare mein thodi bahas bhi hui. Aap team ko pehle rakhne ki koshish karte hain aur dekhte hain ki team kya chahti hai aur usi hisab se faisla lete hain. Kabhi yeh kaam karta hai, kabhi nahin. Toh aise hi chalta hai,” unhone kaha.
Rohit ne kaha ki jabse woh captain bane hain, unka focus team ko individual goals se aage rakhna hai.
Team ke liye khelna zaroori, individual performance se zyada
“Har faisla jo aap lete hain, uski safalta ki guarantee nahin hoti. Jabse maine national team ki captaincy sambhali hai, main chahta hoon ki sabhi players team ko pehle rakhein – team ke liye zaroori kaam karein aur ‘mere runs, mere scores’ ke baare mein zyada na sochein. Yeh important hai kyunki aap ek team sport khel rahe hain,” Rohit ne kaha.
