The way fingers are pointed towards Rohit Sharma after India's defeat in Adelaide, it is clear that all eyes will be on him during the third Test in Brisbane. After the Adelaide Test, both Rohit's captaincy and batting are in the dock. Rohit Sharma scored only 3 runs in the first innings of Adelaide Test and only 6 runs in the second innings. Meaning it became difficult for him to even touch double figures. And, this is not just about this one Test inning. This has happened with Rohit 8 times in the last 12 Test innings that he has not been able to touch double figures. He has only one half-century to his name in those 12 innings.

Like Virat, Rohit will also have to rotate phone calls!

Obviously these figures do not match the ability of Rohit Sharma. In such a situation, what should the captain of Team India do so that runs start raining from his bat? The answer is a phone call. Yes, just like Virat Kohli had introduced Sachin Tendulkar to England in 2014. The time has come for Rohit Sharma to rotate also. But not Sachin Tendulkar but his former head coach Rahul Dravid.

Why should Rohit Sharma call Dravid?

If Rohit Sharma wants to score runs in the Brisbane Test, he needs to call Rahul Dravid.

Now you will ask why? So there are many answers to this, the first of which is Rohit's bonding with Dravid. Mutual understanding between the two. The combination of coach Rahul Dravid and captain Rohit Sharma on the cricket field was so good that they even won the T20 World Cup.

The second reason for Rohit to call Dravid is his experience of playing in Australia, which can be useful to the Indian captain. There is probably no better person than Dravid to explain how to play red ball in Australia. In such a situation, the tips received from him can open the door to runs for Rohit Sharma.

The third reason for calling Dravid could be Rohit Sharma's performance under his coaching. Rohit has played big innings in Tests on foreign soil during his tenure and has played continuously. Rohit's last century in Test cricket on foreign soil came during the West Indies tour in July 2023. Meaning when Dravid was the coach of the team. After the century, he scored 80 and 57 runs in the next two innings played on the same tour. In this critical era, the same Midas touch of Rohit's batting is missing from Test cricket.

Virat had called Sachin after the failure

Of course, currently Gautam Gambhir is the head coach of Team India.

But, if calling Dravid helps, then there is no harm in that. Rohit should learn about this from Virat, who had called Sachin Tendulkar to deal with the failure of the England tour in 2014. Virat himself mentioned this in an interview. He told that he had taken help from Sachin Tendulkar. He had asked him how he could bring his game on the right track. Virat scored runs at an average of only 13.50 in the 10 innings played during the 2014 England tour.
