💨 Abstract

Rohit Sharma, the senior Indian cricketer, has clarified that he did not retire from the sport and instead "stood down" from the Sydney Test against Australia due to poor form. He stated that he was not able to score runs and the team needed a player in form. His decision to rest allowed Shubman Gill's inclusion in the crucial fifth match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, with India currently trailing 1-2.
