Ex-India cricketer Manoj Tiwary alleged that both Ajit Agarkar and Gautam Gambhir are equally responsible for Rohit Sharma's exit from captaincy role. He added that doubting Rohit's ability to lead in 2027 World Cup was a mistake, noting, "When a player...plays with such selfless mindset...you don't question him." Tiwary opined that this decision cannot be justified by cricketing logic alone.
