NEW DELHI : Batting great Sunil Gavaskar has advised India captain Rohit Sharma to take a break from the ongoing Indian Premier League to keep himself fit and fresh for the World Test Championship final against Australia next month.
The off-colour opener demoted himself to number three against Chennai but fell for his second successive duck after attempting an ill-fated scoop shot against Deepak Chahar. "I would say that Rohit should maybe take a break for the time being and keep himself fit for the World Test Championship final," the former India captain told Star Sports channel.
New Zealand beat India in the final of the inaugural WTC in 2021 and Rohit would have to lead by example if they are to prevail this time around despite mounting injury woes.
