'If India Lose Under Rohit & Bumrah..': Former Indian Cricketer Slams Indians For 'Changing Sides Quickly'

Former Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh has said that if India win the first Test under Jasprit Bumrah, fans will want him to remain the skipper but if it's the opposite, they will badly want Rohit Sharma back, pointing out how Indians keep changing their stand now and then. Reports have suggested that the latter will miss the first Test and Bumrah will be the stand-in captain. Earlier this month, in an interaction with India Today, former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar said that chief selector Ajit Agarkar should name Bumrah as the skipper for the entire Australia series, amid the then uncertainty over Rohit's duration of absence from the tour.Hitting out at fans, Harbhajan said that Indians change sides very quickly depending on the results of singular matches without looking at credibilities.

“If you win the first two Tests, then all Indians would want Bumrah to remain as captain. On the contrary, if India lose both of those games, they would want Rohit to return. We change sides very quickly. I'm not talking about Sunny sir here; I'm talking about the general public. I feel it's a great suggestion to have one captain for the entire series," Harbhajan said while speaking on Jatin Sapru's YouTube channel. "That would be better. If India lose, nobody will question it. However, if India win and Rohit returns for the subsequent matches and then the team lose, that will spark a whole different scenario. But if India lose under both Rohit and Bumrah, they might want Virat Kohli as captain," Harbhajan added. Will Rohit Sharma Feature In Perth Test?Rohit did not travel to Australia with the rest of the Indian team as his wife Ritika Sajdeh was expecting their second child. The couple have a daughter Samaira, born in 2018 and Ritika gave birth to a baby boy on November 15. According to reports, Rohit will not travel to Australia for the first Test but is expected to feature in the second Test in Adelaide, a pink-ball game.
