Ye sab ko break lene ke liye he bolta rahta hai – Fans react as Sunil Gavaskar says ‘Rohit Sharma should take a break and keep himself ready for the WTC Final’

Former Indian opener, Sunil Gavaskar opined that the Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma to take a break from the Indian Premier League and come back rested for the Test Championship Final, which is scheduled to take place after the completion of the ongoing IPL in 2023. On Wednesday, April 25, Rohit’s team suffered a defeat of 55 runs after failing to chase the 208-run target against Gujarat Titans. Mumbai Indians were unable to form any partnerships while attempting to score 208 runs as GT bowlers dominated the game.

After the game, former India captain Sunil Gavaskar urged Rohit to take some time off and come back for the Test Championship Final against Australia with a fresh mindset. “Rohit Sharma should take a break and keep himself fresh for the World Test Championship. Come back again for the last few matches, but right now take a breather himself. He is looking slightly preoccupied, maybe he is thinking about the WTC. I think he needs a little bit of a break,” Gavaskar was quoted as saying on Star Sports.

Only a miracle can take Mumbai Indians to the playoffs this season: Sunil Gavaskar

The 73-year-old criticized the Mumbai bowlers harshly and suggested that those who keep making the same errors should be dropped from the team and told to do some work behind the scenes. “Only a miracle can take Mumbai Indians to the playoffs this season. They will have to play some extraordinary cricket to qualify to the final four. When the bowlers are making the same mistakes, you have to say thank you very much, take a breather and come back after a few games. Do your study, and figure out where you bowled wrong,” the World Cup-winning player asserted.

The five-time champions are currently in the seventh position just, with just six points in the seven games they have played so far in the 16th edition of the Indian Premier League. They will be locking horns against Rajasthan Royals next at the Wankhede Stadium, in Mumbai on Sunday, April 30.

He is already in good touch as a test bats man look at his innings… 1(10) 2(8), 3(12)… Great touch as a test bats man

He also suggested Rohit Sharma was jaded (exact world being preoccupied). Hope @ImRo45 puts country over Ambani franchise and takes heed.
