The recent Border-Gavaskar Trophy series ended with a lot of drama for the Indian cricket team. India lost to Australia 3-1, which was disappointing for fans.
One big shock was when R Ashwin announced his retirement right after the third Test, and Rohit Sharma chose not to play in the final match.
There was also a surprising report from the Indian Express before the Sydney Test. It said a senior player wanted to act like he was the team captain, while Rohit was under pressure for his leadership. This player didn’t have his name mentioned but called himself “Mr. Fix-it.” Former cricketer Robin Uthappa criticized this player on social media, saying he was being selfish.
Uthappa later spoke to Lallantop about this situation. He shared that he usually doesn’t talk to players during tournaments to respect their personal space. He mentioned that he doesn’t know who “Mr. Fix-it” is but thinks the player should be embarrassed for his actions. Uthappa believes that where there is gossip, there’s likely some truth.
When asked who he thought the player could be, he mentioned senior players like KL Rahul and Virat Kohli. He said that Rahul might not seem senior because he is younger, but he has been on the team for almost nine years.
Uthappa emphasized the importance of keeping problems within the team, especially during significant matches. Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma struggled in his games, scoring only small runs throughout the series.
