Rohit Sharma, the captain of the Indian cricket team, seems to be struggling with his game. Famous cricket player Sunil Gavaskar commented during a broadcast that Rohit has not been performing well lately and that he may need to step back if he doesn’t score in the upcoming innings. After getting out early again against Australia, many are questioning when Rohit will retire from Test cricket.
Currently, Rohit has only made 155 runs in eight Tests, which is really low for someone of his experience. If India doesn’t do well in the World Test Championship, many believe that Sydney could be his last Test match. There is speculation that the national selection committee chairman, Ajit Agarkar, who is in Melbourne, might discuss Rohit’s future.
With younger players, like KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal, showing great form, will Rohit make the smart choice to drop himself from the next Test? In the past, Gautam Gambhir made a similar decision when he felt he wasn’t performing well enough.
Rohit is still a strong player in One Day Internationals (ODIs), with a big tournament, the Champions Trophy, coming up soon. However, his recent form in Tests has been disappointing. He initially struggled with batting at a different position, but then returned to open the innings. Unfortunately, his confidence seems low, and he’s not hitting the ball well like he used to.
Even former Australian captain Ricky Ponting noted that Rohit’s shot selection has been poor. Rohit needs to focus and make better choices while batting, especially against tough teams like Australia. With the team’s success potentially hanging in the balance, it’s time for Rohit to reflect on his performance.
