Rohit Sharma:
Team India is to start a five-match Test series against Australia from November 22. Both Australia and India have started preparations for this. Team India is currently at the top of the WTC points table but to get a ticket to the final, India will have to win 4 Tests against Australia at any cost.
If India makes a mistake, the dream of World Test Championship will be shattered and there will be three players who will say goodbye to Test cricket after this series. Come, let us tell you who are these three players.
1. Rohit Sharma
Indian captain Rohit Sharma is at the last stage of his career. Recently, he announced his retirement from T20 International after winning the T20 World Cup 2024 trophy. Now his eyes are on the Champions Trophy and WTC trophy to be held next year.
Rohit would like to give a memorable farewell to his Test career by winning the WTC title. But if he flops in Australia, then Rohit can announce his retirement from Test cricket only after this series.
2. Virat Kohli
Virat Kohli is also in the same boat as the captain of Team India. His cricketing career is also in its last phase. He has won both the World Cup and the Champions Trophy. He just needs the WTC trophy.
Border Gavaskar Trophy will be important to win it. If his bat remains silent in BGT and the team has to face a bad defeat at the hands of the Kangaroos, then he will also say goodbye to Test cricket along with Rohit Sharma.
3. R Ashwin
After Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, discussions are also in full swing about the retirement of R Ashwin, the most experienced spin bowler of the Indian team in Test cricket.
Even though he has dismissed the speculations of his retirement many times, Ashwin also knows very well that a mistake in the Border Gavaskar Trophy can put a break on his career. After which Ashwin can also say goodbye to Test cricket along with Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli.
