Rohit Sharma's wife Ritika Sajdeh has finally reacted after Aaron Finch came in support for India captain following Sunil Gavaskar's bold remark to remove India captain for uncertainty over participation in Perth Test of Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
Couple of days before, former Australia captain Aaron Finch openly expressed his disagreement with Gavaskar and defended Indian captain Rohit Sharma, who's participation in the Perth Test against Australia isn't sure due to a personal reason. India and Australia are set to commence a five-match Test series on November 22.
It all started with batting legend Gavaskar's comments, where he suggested that vice-captain Jasprit Bumrah should be appointed captain for the entire series amidst uncertainty over Rohit's availability for series opener. However, Finch disagreed with this viewpoint, stating that Rohit should be with his family during this special moment. While the exact reason for Rohit's absence remains unconfirmed, it is widely speculated that he is expecting his second child with wife Ritika Sajdeh.
This is what Sunil Gavaskar had said...
"We have been reading that Rohit Sharma will not play in the first Test, perhaps he will not play in the second as well. If this is the case, then I say that, right now, the Indian selection committee should say that 'if you have to rest, rest, if there are personal reasons then look at them. But if you are missing two-thirds of the matches then you should go for this tour only as a player. We will make the vice-captain the captain of this tour'," Gavaskar had told Sports Tak.
"Indian cricket is the most important. I would say that if we had won the New Zealand series 3-0, it would have been a different matter. Because we have lost this series 3-0, there is a need for a captain. The captain has to unite the team. If there is no captain in the beginning, it is better to make someone else the captain," Gavaskar had further added.
Here's how Aaron Finch reacted to Gavaskar responded to Gavaskar's remark
"I disagree with Sunny on that totally. Rohit Sharma is the captain of the Indian cricket team. If you need to stay at home because your wife is having a baby... that's such a beautiful moment... and you take all the time that you need in that regard," Finch told ESPNcricinfo.
