‘Take a break and keep yourself fit for the WTC final’: Sunil Gavaskar to out-of-form Rohit Sharma | Cricket News – Times of India
NEW DELHI: Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma’s woeful run in the Indian Premier League 2023 continued on Saturday as he set an unwanted record of batsman with most ducks in the history of the league.
Batting great Sunil Gavaskar feels the out-of-form India skipper Rohit should take a break from the IPL and instead prepare in earnest for the upcoming World Test Championship (WTC) final against Australia.
Gavaskar believes the confidence of Rohit has been hurt after a prolonged run of poor scores in the T20 league.
Speaking on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “I would say that Rohit should maybe take a break for the time being, and keep himself fit for the World Test Championship final. He can come back again for the last few matches, but right now, (he should) take a little bit of a breather himself.”

The WTC final is scheduled to be held at the Oval in London from June 7-11.
Rohit’s barren run with the willow continued as Chennai Super Kings broke a 13-year-old home jinx against Mumbai Indians with an easy six-wicket victory at the Chepauk on Saturday.
The Indian skipper’s horrid run in IPL since the last edition continued as he failed to trouble the scorer for the second match in succession, leading to MI settling for a below-par 139 for eight against CSK.
It was a forgettable outing for Mumbai Indians and the biggest setback for them was the current form of their skipper, who was dismissed within the powerplay for the eighth time in this edition of the league.
