Is Rohit Sharma greedy? Gavaskar after the defeat in the World Cup final

Australia lifted the cup by defeating India in the 2023 World Cup final. Australia won the sixth ODI title in their history at the Gujarat Cricket Association Stadium.

After losing the toss and batting, the match started to slip away from the hands of the captain Rohit Sharma. Had Rohit stayed at the crease for a little longer, India would have won the match.

Rohit got out for the second wicket after scoring 47 runs in 31 balls. Rohit was dismissed by Travis Head’s brilliant catch off Glenn Maxwell.

Rohit also brought out the same attacking strategy in the finals as he did throughout the tournament. But Gavaskar raised doubts that Maxwell’s greed to score more runs in the over led to his dismissal.

Gavaskar also said that Rohit should play a little more patiently after losing the wicket of Shubman Gill earlier. Gavaskar said this in a column written in Sportsstar.

‘It was Travis Head’s brilliant catch that ended India’s hopes of a 300+ score. Rohit Sharma was out through that catch. Rohit was once again the fastest to score 40+ runs in the World Cup.

This dismissal was in the last over of the Powerplay. Only two fielders can be stopped outside the 30 yard circle. Rohit had already hit a six and a boundary in that over.

Rohit Sharma tried to take advantage of more balls before the end of the powerplay. Was Rohit greedy? Rohit should have played a little more patiently, considering Shubman Gill’s early dismissal,’ Gavaskar wrote.

It is not clear what the role of Australia’s fifth bowler was. Whatever it was, it was completely successful in this case.

It not only earned the Indian skipper a crucial wicket but also forced the Indian batsmen to face the Aussies’ non-regular bowlers with more caution.

We lost at least 30 runs because of this. “Whether these runs would have changed the outcome of the match is debatable,” Gavaskar said.
