Will Rohit Sharma retire after Border-Gavaskar Trophy?: Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma once again failed to score big and was out after scoring only 3 runs on the second day of the fourth Test match against Australia in Melbourne on Friday. This was another disappointing performance from Rohit, who has scored only 22 runs in the last four innings. Due to this, there is a lot of discussion about his future.
Now in a PTI report it was said that it is possible that he may retire from this format after the current series. According to the report, chief selector Ajit Agarkar is currently in Melbourne and it is possible that he may talk about Rohit’s future. With the series tied at 1-1, the last two Test matches against Australia hold extra significance for India and their WTC final dreams.
Let us tell you, after the Indian captain was out for three runs in the first innings of the fourth Test here on the short ball of Pat Cummins, questions have started being raised as to when he will retire from Test cricket. National Selection Committee Chairman Ajit Agarkar is in Melbourne and it is possible that both of them may have talked about the future because the Indian team is going through a phase of change.
In the last eight Tests, Rohit has scored only 155 runs at an average of 11.07 in 14 innings. Firstly, he is not in form and by making changes in the starting pair which seemed stable, the balance of the team has also been disturbed. There is speculation that if India is unable to qualify for the World Test Championship final, then Sydney will be the last Test of his career.
But will Rohit keep himself out of the Sydney Test and allow in-form KL Rahul to open the innings with Yashasvi Jaiswal? Indian team head coach Gautam Gambhir had thrown himself out once during his playing days in the IPL.
If Ravichandran Ashwin is forced to retire on the pretext that he is not one of the two first-choice spinners abroad, then shouldn’t the Indian captain be told that he is not in the top six in Tests, whose place in the team is not confirmed? Is.
Champions Trophy is to be played in ODI format after seven weeks and Rohit has no match in ODI. His current poor form might have lowered his morale but if the responsibility of Test is removed then he will be able to play freely.
Both Rohit and Virat Kohli are in bad form but the difference is in how both look at the crease. Looking at Kohli, it still seems that he will play a big innings soon and he also scored a century in Perth.
Even on the second day at MCG, he looked full of confidence. On the other hand, Rohit has been losing wickets easily. Here he returned to the pavilion after playing very bad shots. Even as a captain, he has not impressed much in this series so far. Therefore the captain will have to take a decision soon. Perhaps his team is waiting for this.
