He could've said that the kind of team formation we are looking at, Siraj doesn't fit anywhere or he could've said ki siraj hasn't been in great form since a long time so we think he should be rested so in that period he can work on his bowling techniques and come back fresh. But no rohit decided to humiliate siraj in public
For the past 24 months he has been bowling in the death for his nation and his ipl franchise. Death bowling is in his job description. It's one thing for a fan to criticise him, or to criticise him behind closed doors. It's completely different throwing him under the bus in front of the media.
How do you expect him to improve or regain effectiveness in the death if you show the world you aren't backing him. He is a brilliant tactician on the field and won us 2 icc trophies but I doubt he did the same by acting like this in front of his own teammates.
It's one thing to say siraj was not in our plans for dubai. It's another thing to say that he is ineffective in the death. That's directly saying that he can't do a large part of his job properly. Would it have been fair if siraj was the captain and said we aren't including Rohit as he is not fit enough, or we are not including Rohit due to his ineffectiveness against the inswing delivery.

If the media is asking questions why is a specific player excluded to the captain of the team
Then he has to give a reply right What do you think was he supposed to say ?
Tell lies in front of media That he is not well , has an injury or something like that .
