In the current Border-Gavaskar Trophy, India skipper Rohit Sharma has struggled at bat. His captaincy has also been called into doubt, as he has only scored 22 runs in the series thus far. He may be fired if the visitors lose the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, according to certain rumours. Additionally, his batting performance was lacking, and according to former Australian cricketer Mark Waugh, the 37-year-old could put up his boots if he doesn’t contribute in the Melbourne Test’s second innings.
He emphasised Rohit Sharma recent batting performance, when he averaged 11 runs over the previous 14 innings.
All outstanding athletes go through this stage, he continued, and regrettably, everyone must eventually retire.
According to the Hindustan Times, Waugh stated, “If I were a selector now, it depends on what happens in the second innings, but if he doesn’t make runs in the second innings and we come to Sydney in a crucial Test match, I’d be saying ‘Rohit, thank you for your service, you’ve been a great player, but we’re going to bring in Jasprit Bumrah as captain for the SCG and that’s the end of your career.”
It would be extremely difficult for Rohit Sharma to continue. He has been averaging 11 runs in his last 14 innings, which is a hint that he is past his prime. Every player gets it. Every great player ends at some point, he continued.
The figures speak for themselves: Michael Hassey,
The time has come for Rohit to retire from Test cricket, according to former cricket player Michael Hussey. The southpaw claimed that Rohit struggled to live up to his promise tactically and that his movement on the pitch wasn’t correct.
You don’t need to ask, ‘Where are you at?’ You can see where he is. Numbers don’t lie. Before this trip in India, they had to bat for a few difficult wickets, but you can see that even his movement in the field is poor. “Everyone gets a used-by date, and even tactically he’s been behind pace,” Hussey added.
He has been a fantastic player for India, so I believe they have already granted him that indulgence. Eventually, that indulgence must end, and it will do so following this Test match unless he scores runs in the second innings,” he continued.
