Rohit Sharma is probably going through the worst phase of his career. In recent times, both his batting and captaincy have been very bad. On one hand, runs are not coming from his bat. On the other hand, under his captaincy, Team India is facing continuous defeats. There has been talk of his retirement on social media after he was out for just 3 runs in the first innings after poor captaincy during the Melbourne Test. Now it seems that he will retire after this match. There is a big coincidence behind this.

What is the coincidence of Rohit's retirement?

Due to Rohit Sharma's poor performance, fans are demanding his retirement. Now this thing also seems to be proven true. But the reason behind this is not his performance but Steve Smith's century. Actually, after 14 years a big coincidence has come to light. In fact, when Smith scored a century in the Boxing Day Test during the 2014 Australia tour, Indian captain MS Dhoni had retired from the Test. At that time, Dhoni had also reached Melbourne after losing two Tests and after the end of the match, he had announced his retirement on 30 December.

Smith has once again scored a century against India in the Boxing Day Test. Rohit has also reached Melbourne after losing two Tests under his captaincy. Looking at this coincidence and his performance, it is believed that Rohit will leave the captaincy after this match. He can also announce his retirement from Test cricket. However, it will be known only when the time comes what they decide.

Rohit's poor performance

Rohit Sharma is continuously performing poorly. In the current series, he has scored only 22 runs in 4 innings at an average of 5.5. During this period he has played innings of 3,6,10 and 3 runs. Whereas in the last 14 innings of the Test, he has been able to score only 155 runs at an average of 11.07. During this period, only 1 half-century has come from his bat. Rohit touched double figures 5 times in these 14 innings, while he was out within 10 runs 9 times. At the same time, they recently lost the 0-3 test series against New Zealand. Now they have lost 2 matches in the current series against Australia.
