Prioritise Test cricket or perish was India skipper Rohit Sharma’s stern piece of advice for anyone aspiring to play for the country after the hosts beat England by five wickets in the fourth Test here to go 3-1 up in the five-match series and effectively clinch the Anthony De Mello Trophy.
Skipper’s clear message
Rohit made it crystal clear about what he wants from his teammates in terms of commitment, especially in the longest format of the game. “Jin ladko ko bhook hai hum unhi ladko ko mauka denge [only the guys who have the hunger to play Test cricket will be given opportunities]. Agar hunger nahi hai to unko khila ke koi matlab nahi hai [if there’s no hunger then there’s no point in playing those players],” said Rohit at the post-match press conference after scoring a gutsy 55 on a challenging surface during his team’s tricky fourth innings run-chase of 192.
