Australia team has defeated India in the Sydney Test. Along with losing the series 1-3, the Indian team has now also lost the Border-Gavaskar Trophy after a decade. But still more discussion is going on about Rohit Sharma's interview. Amidst the news of his sourness with Gautam Gambhir, his retirement and his exclusion from the team, Rohit gave a explosive interview on the second day of the Sydney Test. He had said that due to his poor form, he took this decision himself, so that the series could be drawn after defeating Australia. Now former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar has made a shocking claim regarding his interview. He believes that Gautam Gambhir was Rohit's target and he himself planned it.

'Gambhir was getting all the credit'

Sanjay Manjrekar was analyzing the match after the defeat of the Indian team. During this time, he made a shocking claim regarding Rohit Sharma's interview. According to him, Rohit's decision to sit out was right for the team. But Gautam Gambhir was getting all the credit for this. Fans felt that the decision to keep Rohit Sharma out was taken because of the head coach of the Indian team. So he planned the interview and came forward and clarified everything.

Manjrekar said, 'I liked the interview a lot when he said that the team could not play another out-of-form player. So decided to sit outside. But there were other emotions involved as well. To be honest, there was another reason behind doing this interview. I think Gambhir was getting credit for his brave decision of dropping Rohit Sharma. That's why he wanted to clear everything on record.

I did not like this thing about Rohit

Sanjay Manjrekar did not like one thing about Rohit Sharma's interview. According to him, when any player says that no one else can decide his future and he will take the decision himself, then he does not like it. Because retirement is in the hands of the players but playing for India is not in their hands. Manjrekar said that no matter how big the players become, they should respect the system. If the selectors are strong and they care about Indian cricket then they will decide which player should get how many chances.
