We were struggling for some time
Rohit Sharma had been struggling in Test cricket for a long time. Even in domestic series against Bangladesh and New Zealand, he did not score runs on his bat. After this, the tour of Australia in December 2024 and January 2025 was worth forgetting for him. Rohit’s average of 10.93 in eight Test matches throughout this period was 10.93 and he was able to cross the score of 50 only once. India won both Tests against Bangladesh, but New Zealand defeated India 3–0. India also lost 3–1 in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
He was hurt ahead of Test debut
There is an interesting story about Rohit Sharma’s debut. He was to debut against South Africa in the 2010 Nagpur Test. But Rohit suffered an injury ahead of the toss. Due to this, his debut was postponed there. Then Rohit Sharma made his Kolkata Test debut in the Kolkata Test in 2013 after three years. Rohit started a Test career with a century. He scored 177 runs in this match.
Who will be the new captain?
India will have a new Test captain for a five -Test series in England. Its potential candidates may be Jaspreet Bumrah, Lokesh Rahul, Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant. At present, Bumrah was doing vice -captains in the Test. In the absence of Rohit on the tour of Australia, Bumrah took over the responsibility of captaincy there.
