India’s Captain Rohit Sharma has announced his retirement from Test cricket, which is immediately effective, and has identified an important milestone in his outstanding career. The 37 -year -old man withdrew from T20 International duties after India’s victory at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024, told his decision through Instagram’s story.
He also made it clear that he would be available for one day’s international (ODI) election. Despite the recent indicators of the ongoing engagement with Test cricket – such as key bowlers Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammad Shami, and Mohammad Siraj have expressed their enthusiasm for the Indian team to guide the Indian team during the next series in England.
Reports suggest that the evacuation was influenced by internal communication from selection panels to Cricket for Cricket (BCCI), which identified plans to appoint a new captain. BCCI Vice President Rajiv Shukla confirmed that Rohit’s decision was fully his own, emphasizing that the cricket board did not take any external pressure.
Rohit’s retirement has called for a new full -time Test captain quickly before the next five -match series in England before the next five -match series in England.
The Indian selection committee is expected to finalize the test squad in the coming weeks, which will pay a key attention to identifying a suitable captain. Although the Jasprete Bumrah has become a potential candidate, who assigned a sharp bowler – especially the return from the injury – shows the challenges.
Rohit Sharma ended his Test career with 4,301 runs in 67 matches, with an average of 40.57.
Although his early party in Test cricket – which had raised hopes in its first series against the West Indies for two centuries – hopes, but in the next five years, his later performances did not meet the expectations. During this period, Rohit’s average of 27 tests was 39.62, a slightly above average of 38.02 batting average.
However, a significant change took place when Rohit played a role in opening the batsman, which revealed his original abilities. In the next five years, he became one of the Premier Test batsmen in India and is included in the world’s best level.
During this period he scored three more hundreds, ended with an average of 50.03-which is higher than an average of 41.97 and posted the best series of his career during England’s 2021 tour, where he faced only 866 balls in March 2024 and scored 103 runs in Dharmas.
As Captain, Rohit has led India in 24 Tests after Virat Kohli took power in 2022, which won 12 – this is a commendable record that is second among the Indian captains behind Kohli. Under his leadership, India reached the final of the 2023 World Test Championship, though they were defeated by Australia.
The recent series has been a challenge, including New Zealand’s 3-0 home defeat. It has lost Australia 3-1 in the first-and-Border Gavaskar Trophy in the house in 12 years. Rohit was left for a decisive fifth test against Australia after the form was reduced.
His decision to withdraw from Test cricket could affect his future in ODIs, where it has been the basis for Indian success, including winning the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy. Rohit retired from T20 International Cricket after winning the 2024 T20 World Cup, and it is expected that he will continue to play ODIs during the 2027 World Cup.
However, keeping the top form in the formats with a focused, single format approach can create challenges related to fitness and match preparation.
Rohit Sharma is one of India’s most prominent cricketers, especially in ODIs. He set a world record in 2014 with a 264 -day score of 264 against Sri Lanka in 2014, which included 33 fours and nine sixes, and his second double century in ODIs. He is especially the only player who scored three double -centuries in the format, which strengthened his heritage as one of India’s best limited overseas.
At 37 years and 60 days, Rohit Sharma became the oldest captain to win the T20 World Cup. He is also the second ancient captain to carry the ICC tournament trophy, only Imran Khan came forward, which was 39 years and 172 days when Pakistan defeated England in the 1992 One -Day World Cup final.
Rohit (8-0) has an unbeaten record as captain in the T20 finals included six victories with Mumbai Indians and two with India. Only Ms Dhoni has won the T20 final, with nine of the 15 finals, with nine wins.
The victory has won Rohit’s 11th T20 final in which he has participated. Only Dwayne Bravo (17), Kieron Pollard (16) and Shoaib Malik (15) have more than Rohit winning the T20 final.
Overall, Rohit has captained India in 62 T20 International, winning 49 of them – more than any other leader in the history of T20I, Babar Azam has surpassed 48. Under his leadership, India has lost only 12 T20is, which ended another game, after which India won the Super Over.
