Indian great Sunil Gavaskar has urged Rohit Sharma to take a break from the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) to keep himself fit and fresh for the upcoming World Test Championship (WTC).

Rohit-led Mumbai was defeated by Chennai Super Kings, the captain fell for a duck which is the 16th time for getting out for nought by any batter in IPL history.

Gavaskar stated a break could bring changes to Rohit's performance as he is set to lead India for the WTC title against Australia.

"I would say that Rohit should maybe take a break for the time being, and keep himself fit for the World Test Championship final,"

"He can come back again for the last few matches, but right now, (he should) take a little bit of a breather himself."
