Former Indian cricketer Amit Mishra opined that Rohit Sharma dropping himself for the IND vs AUS 5th Test wasn’t a PR stunt. The Indian captain had opted to sit out of the Sydney Test in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy following a string of poor scores that earned flak from critics. While a section of fans and critics chose to call it a PR stunt, Mishra defended the Hitman and said that he wasn’t a player who would do such a thing for PR.

In a chat with Lallantop, Mishra asked if there was any better captain or player who could handle pressure better than Rohit at the moment. He admitted that Sharma was struggling at the moment but firmly believed that there was no player who can counter pressure like the Indian captain. He further asked to name one Indian captain who would have dropped himself from the side.
You tell me, who is better than him at the moment? In Test cricket, can anyone handle pressure like him? Although he is struggling but you name one player who can handle that pressure. Definitely, you back the young players and that’s what he has done. Name one captain who decided to drop himself in Australia,” Amit Mishra said.
