Rohit Sharma Alleged Complaint Against Sunil Gavaskar Sparks BCCI Buzz

India’s captain, Rohit Sharma, has reportedly filed a formal complaint with the BCCI against cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar, following harsh criticism during the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The controversy began when Rohit missed the first Test in Perth for personal reasons, leading Gavaskar to suggest he step down as captain. Under Jasprit Bumrah’s leadership, India won the first Test, but Rohit’s return to the series was marred by poor form, scoring only 31 runs across three Tests.

As the team struggled, Gavaskar’s criticism grew sharper, questioning Rohit’s place as captain and suggesting it might be time for him to retire. Amid mounting pressure from the media, fans, and the cricketing legend, Rohit reportedly turned to the BCCI, citing that such comments had negatively impacted his mental state and performance.

Despite the tension, both were seen together at Wankhede Stadium’s 50th-anniversary celebrations, though interactions appeared strained. Rohit later returned to domestic cricket, scoring 31 runs in two innings for Mumbai in the Ranji Trophy, signaling his resolve to regain form. This episode highlights the challenges faced by modern cricketers, balancing on-field struggles with external pressures from critics and media.
