Refuting speculations of retirement from the longest format, India skipper Rohit Sharma on Saturday cleared the air following his non-selection for the ongoing fifth and final Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test match in Sydney.

Averaging just 6.2 across his five innings across the series, Rohit is yet to taste victory on the tour, also missing his side's win in the first Test in Perth due to the birth of his second child. In the lead-up to the Sydney Test, the 37-year-old's prolonged lean patch led to him opting out of the crucial fixture, with Jasprit Bumrah taking charge of the team.

With speculations about his retirement gaining ground, Rohit came out to address the elephant in the room, in which he stated, "This is not a decision to retire, nor am I stepping away from the game. I've stood down for this match because I wasn't scoring runs with the bat at the moment."
