- This player of Team India, despite reaching old age, is dreaming of playing cricket for 4 years, after which this player will be forced to retire only after being humiliated.
Team India: After the Melbourne Test, India had to face defeat in Sydney as well. In Sydney, the Kangaroo batsmen defeated India by 6 wickets. Like every time, this time too the Indian batsmen had a very shameful performance, where India (Team India) was able to score 185 runs in the first innings, and in the second innings, it collapsed for just 157 runs. India had to lose the series 1-3. At the same time, a player of Team India is seeing his career for at least four more years even in old age. Surprisingly, despite being in poor form, this player is not retiring but dreaming of playing cricket for 3-4 more years.
Will play cricket for 4 more years!
Team India’s regular captain Rohit Sharma is going through a very bad phase at the moment, neither are runs coming from his bat nor is his captaincy showing the same edge as before. Due to his poor form, he had to sit out in the Sydney Test.
After the constant criticism of Rohit Sharma, the captain himself came to give an interview to the broadcaster during the lunch break, then Rohit said that he is not considering leaving this format at the moment. Rohit said that runs are not coming from his bat right now, but this does not mean that he will not score runs in the coming 5-6 months. After this, it is clear that Rohit Sharma is looking at his career for at least 3-4 years more.
The captain is going through a bad phase
Team India captain Rohit Sharma’s form is not supporting him at all. Even though he is scoring runs with the white ball, he is constantly struggling with the red ball. His bad phase that started against Bangladesh continued in both innings of Melbourne, Australia. Against Bangladesh, Rohit was able to score only 42 runs in four innings of two matches with an average of 10.50.
Against New Zealand, Rohit scored only 91 runs in 6 innings of 3 matches at an average of 15.16. During this, he also scored the only half-century. After poor form, Rohit was sent on the Australia tour, but this time his average saw a further decline. Rohit has scored only 31 runs in 5 innings of 3 matches in Australia at an average of 6.20. If Rohit’s performance continues to decline like this, then he can be dropped not only from the team but also from the squad.
Preparation for playing ODI World Cup
Captain Rohit Sharma is planning to play in the ODI World Cup to be played in October and November 2027 in South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Namibia. If Rohit plays till the 2027 ODI World Cup, by then his age will be over 40. We have to see whether BCCI considers Rohit Sharma’s name then or he will be forced to retire from Team India by getting insulted.
Captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are almost the same age, but while questions are raised about Rohit Sharma’s fitness, Virat Kohli is considered the fittest player in Team India even at the age of 36. If Virat remains fit till 2027, then he will be seen playing in this tournament. On the other hand, there is doubt over Rohit playing in the World Cup.
