India has maintained its dominance in this tournament by winning the trophy in 2018/19, 2020/21 and 2022/23. But, this time India’s batting disappointed a lot. Due to this Australia is close to winning the series after a long time. On the other hand, if India loses in the Sydney Test, then Australia will win the series 3-1. After which these 7 players of India can say goodbye to cricket. Let’s know who are those players.
Indian batsmen disappointed in Border Gavaskar Trophy
The strongest side of the Indian cricket team is their batting. Team India is known for its huge batting all over the world. But, this time in the Border Gavaskar Trophy 2024, this strength has proved to be their biggest weakness. Big players like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Shubman Gill were seen yearning to score runs.
No player showed such intent in the 5 match test series that it felt that India can make a comeback in the match. India batted second-rate on this entire tour. Due to this Australia made a strong comeback in the 2nd test after losing the first test. For which Indian batsmen can be blamed.
These 7 players can announce their retirement after the Sydney Test
A tough competition is being witnessed between India and Australia in the Sydney Test. After being all out for 185 runs in the first innings, Australia was restricted to 181 runs. India had a full chance to score big in the second innings, but, senior batsman Virat Kohli, like always, got out cheaply for 6 runs. Whereas in the first innings, he was out cheaply after scoring 17 runs. After this, the news of Virat Kohli’s retirement has gained momentum.
Captain Rohit Sharma did not play in the Sydney Test due to poor batting, after which speculations have started that both these players may retire from Test cricket. Jadeja is also the target of the fans. Apart from these, Indian players Cheteshwar Pujara, Ajinkya Rahane, Umesh Yadav, and Ishant Sharma, who have been out for a long time, can announce retirement. Because the doors of Team India seem to be closing for these aged players. In such a situation, there is no option left other than retirement.
