There was a lot of speculation that captain Rohit Sharma might announce his retirement after the disappointing loss to Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, especially given his poor performance. However, Rohit has categorically dismissed any ideas of such plans.
Similarly, former captain Virat Kohli has also struggled during the series. While there hasn’t been much talk about him stepping down, many fans and experts believe it’s time to move away from the superstar culture in the Indian team. They feel it would be better to bring in younger talent by letting go of some veteran players.
This situation has led to significant concern and calls for a closer look at the futures of both Kohli and Rohit within the team.
The situation remains uncertain as the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is set to hold its first discussion on this issue during the Special General Meeting. The board’s new secretary, Devajit Saikia, has been instructed to communicate a clear message to chief selector Ajit Agarkar about addressing this pressing dilemma and selecting a new team.
A former BCCI official emphasized the importance of conveying a strong message, suggesting that both Kohli and Rohit might be dropped from the Test squad. He reminded everyone that no player is bigger than the game itself and that performance is what truly matters.
