India’s cricket captain Rohit Sharma reportedly contemplated retiring from Test cricket following a challenging performance in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The decision was said to have been triggered after his underwhelming showing in the Melbourne Test, where he managed only 31 runs in five innings.
Sources suggest that close confidants persuaded Rohit to reconsider his decision, leading to his withdrawal from the Sydney Test instead of announcing retirement. This development has reportedly caused dissatisfaction within the team management.
Despite the setback, Rohit is expected to return to action in the upcoming ODI series and the Champions Trophy, with hopes of reclaiming his form and making a strong comeback for India.
