After winning the T20 World Cup this year, Rohit Sharma had said goodbye to T20 cricket. After this, once again rumors of his retirement from Test cricket are gaining momentum. It is being said that the ongoing five-match Test series between India and Australia could be the last Test series of his career.
Captain Rohit Sharma has been struggling with poor form in Test cricket for some time and a lot of questions are being raised on his captaincy in this format. Actually, the news of his retirement from Test is also coming because in the Brisbane Test, when Rohit Sharma was returning to the pavilion after being out on the ball of Pat Cummins, he took off his gloves and left them behind the dugout. Since then, debate has erupted on social media whether Rohit has made up his mind to say goodbye to Test cricket?
If we look at Rohit Sharma’s current Test form, he has scored only 152 runs in the last 13 innings at an average of 11.69, which includes only one fifty. During this period, Rohit has been out on single digit scores eight times. Rohit was not available for the first Test on the Australia tour, but after this, in Adelaide and Brisbane, he has been the target of criticism for both his captaincy and batting.
When Rohit was out on the ball of Pat Cummins on the fourth day of the match, he looked very disappointed with himself. Rohit retired from T20 International after winning the 2024 T20 World Cup title. Now if Rohit retires from Test, he can only be seen playing in One Day International format.
