Horses cannot be changed midstream: Sidhu 

When Rohit Sharma stepped away from the last Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 owing to poor form, Sidhu was quick to criticise the Indian management over the decision. Despite Rohit having bad times with the bat, the veteran further condemned the decision by saying that ‘we have a habit of pulling our heroes down’. 

“My take on the Rohit Sharma issue is very simple. Such decisions have to be taken before or after a series. Horses cannot be changed midstream and here is a captain... There will always be opinions, we have a habit of pulling our heroes down. That should not be the case,” said Sidhu at the time.
