In modern cricket history, Rohit Sharma’s mark comes with high regard. Being a ferocious batter, Rohit decided to retire from the Test format on May 7.
Having retired from T20I after winning the 2024 World Cup, the 38-year-old batter can only represent India in the 50-over format.
In March, he led India to win the Champions Trophy title. As the next ODI World Cup is in 2027, Rohit has two years ahead of him to finally give it a shot for the ICC title he wishes to win the most.
In the last two to three years, the six-time IPL winner had a very hard time in the five-day format. He even dropped himself during the Test series in Australia due to poor form.
He played 67 times in Tests for India, carrying an average of 40.57 and scoring 4,301 runs, which includes 12 centuries.
Roger Binny, who is the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) current chair said: “He brought a sense of calm and assurance to the team – both as a player and as a captain.”
“His ability to stay composed under pressure and to consistently put the team’s needs above his own made him a truly special player and leader.
“Indian cricket has been fortunate to have a figure like Rohit – someone who upheld the highest standards of professionalism and sportsmanship.”
It is also the end of Rohit’s role as Team India Test captain.
