Veteran cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has lashed out at Indian Cricket Team opener Rohit Sharma for his 'irresponsible shot' during the Gabba test. India and Australia are fighting hard to win the ongoing test series. At every step, the Indian cricket team faces new problems. Be it Virat leaving the team in between, the Indian cricket team turning out to be an emergency ward, racial abuse, strict bio-bubble, and finally hotel problems.
Despite all such problems, the Indian Cricket team has impressed the cricket pandits with their performance, especially Rishabh Pant, Siraj and Ashwin. However, in the absence of many frontline players, Rohit Sharma is among the senior-most players. However, Rohit lost his calm and patience during the 4th test at the Gabba.

Rohit threw his wicket away as he tried to take on Nathan Lyon, with a fielder waiting in the deep for a mistimed shot. The India opener was beaten in flight by Lyon and ballooned a simple catch to Mitchell Starc. Following this, Gavaskar lashed out at Rohit. Talking to Channel 7 cricket, Gavaskar said, "Why? Why? Why? That's an unbelievable shot. That's an irresponsible shot. There's a fielder there at long on, there is a fielder there at square leg. You've just hit a boundary a couple of deliveries earlier, why would you play that shot? You're a senior player, there's no excuse, absolutely no excuse for this shot. An unnecessary wicket, an unnecessary wicket gifted away. Totally unnecessary."
