Rohit Sharma, the captain of the Indian team, has decided to retire from Test cricket. Sydney is set to host the final Border Gavaskar Trophy match. The report states that they will be able to decide this game.
Rohit Sharma, the captain of the Indian team, has decided to end his Test cricket career. After the final Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Sydney, India may have to bid adieu to its cricket career if it does not advance to the 2025 World Test Championship (WTC) final. Rohit Sharma has struggled to score runs in Test cricket over the past few series. He has only managed to score 31 runs in 3 matches during the current Test series against Australia.
The Times of India report that selectors from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and high officials are debating Rohit’s position in the team. According to the report, the captains will make an effort to persuade the selectors that India should be permitted to play if they advance to the WTC final. However, it is less likely to occur, so their last match in Sydney may be.
Rohit’s test career on slope
In Test cricket, captain Rohit Sharma’s form is steadily declining. In their three-match home series against New Zealand, Team India was up against a clean sweep. In just three of this series’ matches, the captain’s bat has only produced 91 runs. Under Rohit Sharma’s leadership, India has played three matches in the current series and lost two of them. In 3 games and 5 innings, he has only managed to score 31 runs. So far, he has scored 3, 6, 10, 3, and 9 runs. The bat of Rohit Sharma failed to reach the 15-run mark.
