In the post 1st innings experts show in Melbourne, Ravi Shastri when asked about Rohit Sharma’s future with the Red ball cricket, drops massive hints about Rohit Sharma’s retirement. Rohit has been struggling with his ongoing form during the BGT 2024-25 edition. In the 5 innings that Rohit has been featured in, he has a total score of 31 runs which is concerning and has impacted the top order’s ability to put runs on the board.
“Virat might have 3-4 years but Rohit might retire after this series, it’s his call”, Former India great Ravi Shastri said.
“His footwork started to change, fitness is a big issue, not in a good touch, this is not Rohit Sharma we’ve seen, it is better to leave this format then focusing on comeback”, he added.
The Indian captain’s technical instability and difficulties and inability to convert starts have raised many eyebrows over his form and ability to lead such an elite, tier 1 cricketing nation. Also Jasprit Bumrah’s consistent performance as a player as well as a captain was witnessed in the first Test at Perth during the absence of Rohit Sharma. Bumrah led the team to victory and players like him and Pat Cummins have proved to be a great example of fast bowlers leading the teams.
If Sharma prepares for his final Test series, the focus will be on giving him a fitting farewell, celebrating a career that has inspired many and contributed significantly to Indian cricket’s rich legacy in the Test format.
