Describing Rohit as a dedicated player, Gavaskar added: “He’s deeply committed to Indian cricket and would never want to be a liability to the team. If he doesn’t score runs in the next two games, I think he’ll step aside on his own.”
Rohit’s recent form in Test cricket has been underwhelming. In his last 13 innings, he has averaged just 11.83, scoring only 152 runs with a solitary half-century.
“It’s the line, I think the stump line has been troubling him a lot,” The Indian Specific quoted Cheteshwar Pujara sayin on ESPNcricinfo.

Karthik emphasised that Rohit’s mindset could possibly be the important thing to overcoming this section.
“I’m not sure if he truly believes in himself right now, which could be affecting his confidence. But if he focuses and commits to the challenge, he can silence these doubts. What India needs most is a mentally strong Rohit Sharma.”
