BGT: Won’t Be Surprised If Rohit Calls Time On His Test Career, Says Shastri
World Test Championship: Former India head coach Ravi Shastri said he would not be surprised if captain Rohit Sharma retires from Test cricket. He added that if Rohit has a swansong game, then he should bow out from the format on a high.
Speculations over Rohit’s future intensified on the eve of the final Border-Gavaskar Trophy series Test at Sydney, where head coach Gautam Gambhir said in the pre-match press conference that the playing eleven will be decided after having a look at the pitch ahead of day one’s play, while not saying if the Indian skipper is a guaranteed starter for the match starting on Friday.
In the ongoing series, Rohit has made just 31 runs at an average of 6.2 in three games. “He'll take a call on his career but I won't be shocked at all (if Sharma retires) because he's not getting younger. There are other young players in the wings, there's Shubman Gill, a player of his quality averaging over 40 in the year 2024 and not playing.”
