Shastri details how he would have handled Rohit's Test ending

Shastri has since shared details of a conversation he had with Rohit at an IPL fixture and prior to his retirement.

Speaking with host Sanjana Ganesan on the latest edition of The ICC Review, Shastri said: “I saw Rohit a lot at the toss. At the toss, you don't get enough time to speak. Though I did put my hand on his shoulder in one of the games.

“I think it was in Mumbai and told him, if I was coach you would have never not played that last Test match. You would have played that last Test match because the series wasn't over.

“And I'm not someone who threw in the towel with the scoreline 2-1. If your mindset is you feel you are… that's not the stage, you leave a team.”

From his three outings in Australia, having missed out the first of five Tests due to personal reasons, Rohit scored just 31 runs.
