India test match captain, Rohit Sharma, said sitting out the final match of the series against Australia due to poor form does not mean he will retire, adding that critics will not decide when he should walk away from the sport.

Rohit Sharma has revealed that he decided to step down for the Sydney Test to make way for an in-form player to come into the side.

Rohit Sharma on Saturday cleared the air around his omission from the playing XI for the fifth and final Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Sydney.
