Former Australia captain Michael Clarke has voiced his support for India's skipper Rohit Sharma, asserting that Sharma has earned the right to make decisions regarding his Test cricket career, despite recent struggles in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
In a series marred by subpar batting performances from key players, including Virat Kohli, who faces challenges outside the off-stump, Clarke believes that Sharma's role as captain grants him leeway. Sharma's tenure as captain has seen his batting average drop, compared to his previous stellar performances.
On another note, former captain Aaron Finch has expressed concerns over team dynamics since Sharma's return, while Clarke commends Nitish Kumar Reddy for his impressive performance, suggesting a higher batting order for the young talent.
