Rohit Sharma Likely to Retire After Border-Gavaskar Trophy

Rohit Sharma Retirement: The way Rohit Sharma batted in the World Cup in 2023 forced the selectors to include him in the team for the T20 World Cup to be held in the US and South Africa. This is what happened and India ended the ICC title drought after 13 years under the leadership of Rohit Sharma.

Rohit Sharma’s Struggles in Test Cricket

Rohit Sharma performed brilliantly in the Test series against Bangladesh, but after Team India’s 0-3 defeat against New Zealand, things have changed so quickly for Indian captain Rohit Sharma that hardly anyone could have imagined.

Media reports claimed that if the Indian team does not reach the final of the World Test Championship, then many senior players including Rohit may have to retire.

The Indian team is currently trailing 1-2 in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy and its hopes of reaching the final of the World Test Championship have been dealt a severe blow by the defeat in Melbourne.

Rohit Sharma has flopped badly in this series. Rohit Sharma has scored only 31 runs in three matches, while Jasprit Bumrah has taken 30 wickets. This shows how much Rohit has flopped.

Rohit Sharma Considering Retirement

Indian captain Rohit Sharma may be a better white ball player, but his recent performance in red-ball cricket raises many questions.

Apart from this, many veterans are also of the opinion that Rohit Sharma should think about his future. At the same time, a report has now claimed that Rohit Sharma has thought about his future.

A Times of India report claims that there are talks about retirement with the top officials and selectors of the BCCI, but it is understood that Rohit has already made up his mind.

While it is anyone’s guess when and where Rohit’s retirement will be announced, it is highly unlikely that the Indian captain will remain in his post even after the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

Rohit will undoubtedly want to convince the selectors to let him stay for the World Test Championship (WTC) final if India reaches there. However, if they do not do so, Sydney will be Rohit’s last Test. If the report is to be believed, the selectors know what is going to happen next.
