DUGOUT: Did Gambhir 'DROP' Rohit for SCG Test or did the Skipper ‘OPT-OUT’ himself? | Sports Today

[@kcsnew]

Rohit himself opted out must be appreciated. Virat also should have done the same and given opportunity to Abhimanyu Eeshwaran.

[@vikashjaiswal347]

Agree on first part

[@Ritesh-yf7lt]

Do you really believe it. Gambhir kicked his ass.

[@zeus3086]

He is a self centered selfish cricketer. With an avg of just 47, he is Ghante ka Goat!

[@bhaveshkrmintri2196]

Shashwat has shown double standards and done a complete switch. On day before yesterday's dugout he challenged the Team Management to drop Rohit. And now when the Team Management did, he has got his tail between legs. In addition, the kid needs to understand that you randomly cannot throw out allegations with a shred of proof or source. You are on a public platform. You are a journalist. However his attitude, analysis and behaviour is unbecoming of being a journalist of such a reputed media channel.

[@PortlyPour]

Shashwat predicted that this will be Rohit’s last series even before Perth.

[@kmprash]

this is the problem with Indian journalists. everyone knew it was written in wall. now keep talking about it day over day over. main point is he was dropped and he is done with his test cricket.

[@PortlyPour]

@@kmprash i am not so sure. If India qualifies for WTC Final then he will play there

[@ayushmishra7754]

His unprofessional behaviour is so annoying

[@megasthenes.]

I get it. Shaswat likes Rohit. And doesn't like Gambhir.

[@xyzzzbizzz]

this shaswat guy talks complete bullshit

[@kcsnew]

It is very stupid to think Virat as captain when his position itself in the team is questionable. Cheers 👍

[@kmprash]

exactly whey they keep bringing that topic not sure. i am pretty sure he will not captain RCB as well.

[@kirankhatri5600]

49:00 onwards great point by Gulati. These guys are so good man 👌🏻 The hate in their videos in the comments more often than is lamentable 🤦🏻Not to say they don't BS at times, they need to be consistent like this more often than not ✌🏻

[@vihariracherla5399]

Guys till yesterday you all said that Rohit should be dropped and today you are saying why he should be dropped. come on guys you should be more matured.

[@MooVpickleball]

Ha ha ha what do you expect from analysts 🤣😂🤣. They are losers that don’t have any thing useful to do so they talk about others.. this is basically old ladies in India gossiping if you think about it lol

[@kirankhatri5600]

Nikhil sir in top form today, the examples, the references. Top notch. Take a bow, big fan. He's made to speak 🙏🏻👍🏻 Shaswat is getting better each day, see today he wasn't constantly interrupted by Nikhil and he was eloquent , Logical and reasonable, great points by him as well. PLS LET SID GULATI SPEAK MORE THOUGH. Best video, no hate. Right to the point, seedhi baat no bakwaas

[@sharrathkohli5158]

Nikhil I am a fan of you today

[@abhijeetgahlot5953]

Hypothetically ,If Rohit has not taken paternity leave and played perth test and won, in current situation and current form, would rohit have dropped?

[@Priyanshu-fd9lk]

Shaswat stop being a fan boy talking of twitter gossips ..no facts just random allegations..articles r also getting written that hardik is odi captain in CT..they arent true..u just bash players u dont like kl virat etc..please ne neutral and factual

[@pravinzatakia6520]

Why should there be discussion abt rohit. It is well known that both roko has lost form 4 ever n they r not serious in improvement of their game. It will be better ro retire rather than being driven out by peoople thrgh social media. They lack determination,will to succeed, keen observations of pitches, opp players bowling changes, right selection etc. V should bring new but very much interestee in test only.kohli's mind is in london to become a big businessmen rather than abt his dismissal form.

[@Actually-y7j]

Nikhil talking a lot of sense today!!

[@kartikaysaxena7172]

Gambhir wants to dismantle the star culture of Indian cricket. He should know better. Star culture is what brings in the moolah and if he continues taking on the stars, it only ends with his own ouster

[@neelakandan0213]

Rohit is dropped that's it.. don't sugarcoat nikhil. he never did well in SNA countries in TEST cricket and see his field setting it's pathetic..

[@loopysnoops9322]

agree with the poor field placements. from the performance point of view, kohli, siraj, jadeja should also be kicked out

[@neelakandan0213]

@ yes Kohli should be dropped after this series based on what he did in TEST. Why did you include Jadeja in this , he had been one of the best all rounders for past 5 years

[@syedmann6438]

As a neutral indian fan i feel it was wrong to drop yr captain if rohit was dropped based on poor performance for last 6 months then why is kholi not been dropped after bad form for 4-5 years..hypocresy at its heights..

[@PortlyPour]

Nikhil is wrong. Virat first quit RCB Captaincy Then he wanted to quit T20i Captaincy BCCI told him to reconsider because they didnt want 2 white ball Captains back then. Virat ignored it and went ahead and quit T20i Captaincy. BCCi took away ODI Captaincy Virat got pissed and gave up Test Captaincy

[@Juggler16]

Check again bro and correct your facts

[@PortlyPour]

@ i am 100% sure

[@chutku09]

TIME HAS CM FOR MANY PLAYERS FOR CLOSING FOR TEST CAREER

[@sreejithraj1270]

For god sake, don't prop up done and dusted Chokli...he should be kicked out asap... enough of service!!

[@KpnRao-v8x]

Shame on you people who are saying Rohit dropped,left He is definitely a leader for a Reason he dropped himself for lower order as well, has done so much for the team since several years, wtc consecutive finals, 50 world cup final, t20 world cup, lastly he played obsolete best in england home series, Who is gambhir to drop him he's just coach for the team, probably he doesn't dat honest as he is projecting, after his entry team as been dismantled

[@balajishiva489]

Never in test history of Indian cricket a Capt has been dropped let's show some respect for Rohit

[@farheennissar6974]

Nikhil would have gone Gaga if kohli would have been dropped as he keeps justifying his below average stats from last 4_ 5 years

[@rohanmandalia3517]

Everyone knew Rohit was getting dropped. Please don't be so naive. Even last evening you were discussing as if Rohit was going to play today 😂

[@santosh.majumdar]

Virat announced T20 captaincy before t20 world cup, only the dumbest person would do that. Virat has been a legend cricketer but He has kept himself 1st before Indian cricket.

[@nuranichandra2177]

Please no. He is already like a dying patient in ICU.

[@venkateshbs797]

Gautum Gambhir when he was playing for Delhi dare devils (now Delhi capitals) he was not performing both as a captain as well as batsman hence he decided to sit out he himself droppped from his captaincy and as a batter and gave all his money back to his franchise owner and later shreyas iyer was made the captain of Delhi team this happened if im not wrong in IPL 2018 so the same culture he his following here in the Indian team if you are not performing whether you are a star player whether you are a captain of the team you should step down and give some young players opportunity to captain the side and also play for the team he is against the star culture in the team hence I feel it was Gautam gambhir's decision to drop Rohit sharma its not Rohit sharma's decision to drop himself from the playing XI he still wanted to play for the team but its Gauti's decision to drop him if Rohit felt that he was not captaining the team well or not batting well then he would still play for the team he is a fighter he will not step down easily he will fight for the team and for himself so its purely Gauti's decision to drop him no more should sports media discuss about it and make a big issue out of it just they should focus and discuss on how will India make a come back in this 5th test after being 185 allout in the 1st innings because if India win this test match not only they will draw the series there hopes of qualifying for the WTC finals will be alive and who knows if Srilanka beat Australia in the two test match series which Srilanka can do since they are playing in their home and whenever srilanka play tests in their home they are strong and dominate the opponents and if srilanka beat them either 2-0 or 1-0 India will qualify for the WTC finals hence just discuss on how India will make come back in this 5th test to draw the series think about Indian cricket not think about individual star players playing for the country

[@Manasi_1983]

This guy with the mic really needs mentoring 😂

[@sundarsubramaniam7274]

How does it matter if Rohit got dropped or rested? Why is there so much focus on an individual? The important discussion that needs to happen is, why has Indian test batting regressed to such a degree that our national team simply isn't able to bat in test matches anymore. They either get bowled out cheaply in the same manner trying to score or they go into an ultra defensive shell where they don't score at all.

[@ksvijayuv]

Humble request to cricket channels/ shows.. pls discuss cricket i.e batting, bowling techniques, strategies.. helping Indian cricket progress. u guys r always on gossips and other stuffs.. it’s political reporting of cricket eco system always..

[@nishant5047237]

Dropping Rohit was a good decision. Would have been better had Virat was also dropped…

[@murugra]

They get told what to speak by sponsors

[@rajarshighosh4821]

What nonsense is the guy on the extreme left saying. Rohit’s exclusion is not a surprise. In fact, he should have been dropped earlier. Besides Rohit’s form as a batsman, the team was not responding to his leadership. India has lost 5 test matches under his captaincy. That’s a telling stat.

[@devpratapsinghchauhan6452]

What nonsense debate specially by shaswat..u r basing on report that Virat will become test captain, also fake reports hardik odi captain..u guys should discuss facts not rumours for views

[@subhankarroy7458]

Sorry scoreline will be 3-1

[@vikashjaiswal347]

I am tired of this shaswant sir analysis.... Common man... Ghumaaying his own talks/terms... On his own methods...

[@SHNKRDS]

Hey Gulati, the reason you are ruling out all the others for captain holds true for kohli as well.

[@Ot7_24]

Someone please remove shaswat from the panel please. He sounds like a twitter fan . All he yaps is conspiracy theories

[@farheennissar6974]

Will kohli return as captain 😂 Why should he and he doesn't deserve a place in playing 11 it's laughable

[@Priyanshu-fd9lk]

See express latest report.. selectors told Rohit they will not consider him after sydney..now they will discuss with Virat future after sydney test..Jadeja set to play one more Wtc cycle..GG has powers now

[@aisha7517]

And how do you know express reports are given correct news???

Stop licking man, best players should play, rohit was terrible in test, so is virat, if virat doesnt play this match drop him also , enoughof this star culture nonsense

Rohit Sharma is 1000 times a better Captain than Virat Kohli.
