Under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, Team India is preparing to win the third Test being played in Brisbane. Despite the defeat of Adelaide, the morale of the Indian team is high because it had conquered the Gabba fort on the last tour also. The passion of Team India to repeat the victory of the last tour is clearly visible. But, amidst all this, the Indian captain has been targeted by former South African cricketer Darryl Cullinan. He has made not one but two big allegations against Rohit Sharma, which are related to his batting and body weight. According to Cullinan, Rohit is not going to play for long.

Rohit can play only on flat pitches- Cullinan

Darryl Cullinan, who is coaching the Northern Challengers team in the Big Cricket League, in a special conversation with Insidesport, first raised questions on Rohit Sharma's batting. Then on their weight. He said that Hitman Rohit is the king of flat pitches. They can score runs only on their home pitches.

Darryl Cullinan further said that he never thinks that Rohit Sharma is perfect for overseas pitches. Especially not for South Africa. He can only score runs on home ground, which the statistics also testify to. He also pointed out the problem Rohit faces due to bounce.

'Rohit Sharma is not going to play for long'

While comparing Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, Cullinan said that the Indian captain is more overweight. He is no longer a long format player because his physical condition is not the same.

Cullinan also condemned the policy of changing the captain of Team India. He said that when Team India got a big win of 295 runs in Perth under the captaincy of Jasprit Bumrah, then it was not appropriate to make Rohit the captain. He said that it hardly seems to make any difference whether Rohit is in the team or not.
