One is the captain, other is the team manager (coach). So, you won’t give Gambhir that option, that too in the middle of the series. Decision on Rohit should’ve been taken either prior to the series or after the tour. It’s our habit to judge great players on the basis of one or two bad series’,” Sidhu stated while talking with journalism at an occasion.

Then why single out him (Rohit). When the king falls in chess, it’s the end. I am not saying it similar in cricket, but the mental stress factor is there. Having someone like a Virat, Rohit or Bumrah is massive for the team psychologically. Bumrah is a great captain, he is the future. But, they shouldn’t have press the panic button. The decision should’ve been rational, and not emotional. You have to respect your heroes. Public has short memory,” he included.
