Team India faced a major setback with their fourth Test defeat against Australia, making their chances of reaching the World Test Championship (WTC) final much more challenging. Amid this, reports are surfacing about Indian captain Rohit Sharma possibly retiring from Test cricket in the near future.
According to sources, top officials from the BCCI and the selection committee have already discussed this with Rohit, and it seems unlikely that he will change his mind. While the exact timing of the announcement isn’t clear yet, reports suggest that Rohit might share the news after the final Test match in Sweden.
That said, if India manages to secure a spot in the WTC final, Rohit could ask the selectors for an opportunity to play a few more matches. Addressing the media after the defeat on Monday, Rohit expressed his disappointment, saying, “It’s tough when you can’t perform the way you intended. It’s unsettling and not a good feeling. There are always ways to win matches, but we just couldn’t find them here. We gave it our all until the very end, but sadly, it just wasn’t enough to get us over the line.”
As fans and cricket enthusiasts await an official announcement, Rohit’s potential retirement could mark the end of an impactful chapter in Indian cricket.
